Question

mission 3 \defense\ defend the organelle before dr. vials ships can get to them. look at the messages to determine which organelle needs protection. you will have until the countdown is up to shoot the organelle to protect it. then you must destroy the invaders! 1. which organelle makes the cells energy? a. cytoskeleton b. nucleus c. mitochondria d. lysosomes 2. what organelle is the cells structural support? if its destroyed the cell will collapse! a. cytoskeleton b. mitochondria c. ribosomes d. cell membrane 3. the organelle that receives vesicles, modifies their contents, and then ships off new vesicles to where they need to go! a. cytoskeleton b. cell membrane c. nucleus d. golgi 4. without protein the cell is nothing! protein synthesis is the villains next target! a. rough endoplasmic reticulum b. ribosomes c. mitochondria d. nucleus 5. you must protect the organelle that breaks down poisons and makes lipids (like fats, phospholipids, and steroids) a. smooth endoplasmic reticulum b. rough endoplasmic reticulum c. mitochondria d. cell membrane 6. dr vials plan to attack the organelle that contains dna! a. ribosome b. mitochondria c. cytoskeleton d. nucleus 7. organelle covered in ribosomes and involved in protein transport needs your protection! a. rough endoplasmic reticulum b. golgi c. mitochondria d. nucleus 8. if the selectively permeable barrier that surrounds the cell is destroyed, the cell will die! a. smooth endoplasmic reticulum b. rough endoplasmic reticulum c. mitochondria d. cell membrane

Explanation:

1. Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, generating energy in the form of ATP.
2. The cytoskeleton provides structural support to the cell.
3. The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids into vesicles for secretion or use within the cell.
4. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.
5. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
6. The nucleus contains the cell's DNA.
7. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein transport.
8. The cell membrane is a selectively permeable barrier that surrounds the cell.

Answer:

1. c. Mitochondria
2. a. Cytoskeleton
3. d. Golgi
4. b. Ribosomes
5. a. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
6. d. Nucleus
7. a. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
8. d. Cell membrane
