Question 0

This double membrane organelle is responsible for the production of ATP or cellular energy

Answer 0

Mitochondria

Question 1

This non-membranous organelle is a tiny round organelle that may be free within the cytoplasm or fixed on a specific membranous organelle. It is responsible for the production of proteins.

Answer 1

Ribosome

Question 2

This membranous organelle consists of a series of flattened plate like disks. It is responsible for the synthesis and packaging of cellular secretion.

Answer 2

Golgi apparatus

Question 3

This membranous organelle consists of a series of tubules with ribosomes attached which are responsible for the production and packaging of proteins.

Answer 3

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Question 4

These membrane-bound vesicles are produced by the Golgi apparatus. They contain strong and acidic digesting enzymes responsible for the breakdown of damaged organelles or phagocytized pathogens.

Answer 4

Lysosomes

Question 5

This membranous organelle consists of a series of tubules responsible for the production and packaging of lipid and steroids.

Answer 5

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Question 6

This membranous organelle is the largest organelle of the cell. It is the control center of the cell and it contains genetic material and a nucleolus.

Answer 6

Nucleus

Question 7

This non-membranous structure forms the cytoplasmic framework of a cell. It consists of numerous non-membrane-bound organelles (microtubules, microfilaments, etc)

Answer 7

Cytoskeleton

Question 8

This non-membranous organelle is composed of paired cylindrical bodies composed of microtubules. It is responsible for chromosome movement during cell division.

Answer 8

Centriole

Question 9

This is a series of long plasma membrane extensions that have the ability to beat rhythmically to propel substances along the cell surface

Answer 9

Cilia

Question 10

This is a series of tiny plasma membrane extensions used to increase the cells surface area for absorption.

Answer 10

Microvilli

Question 11

This membranous organelle is a membrane-bound vesicle that contains oxidative enzymes that function to break down fatty acids and ethanol (alcohol).

Answer 11

Peroxisomes
