Plant Cell Organelles

Question 1

What is an Organelle?

Answer 1

In Celluar Biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function.

Question 2

What is the Cell Membrane?

Answer 2

In Celluar Biology, a cell membrane is:

• The semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
• The organelle that controls what enters and exits the cell

Question 3

What is the Nucleus?

Answer 3

In Celluar Biology, the nucleus is the part of the cell that stores genetic information.

Question 4

What is a Mitochondria?

Answer 4

In Celluar Biology, a mitochondriais an organelle thatrespiratestoproduce energy for the cell.

Question 5

What is the Cytoplasm?

Answer 5

In Celluar Biology, the cytoplasm is:

• The liquid that gives the cell structure
• The liquid inside the cell in which chemical reactions take place

Question 6

What is a Ribosome?

Answer 6

In Celluar Biology, ribosomes produce proteins using RNA.

Question 7

What is a Vacuole?

Answer 7

In Celluar Biology, a vacuole is:

• The organelle that isolates harmful materials from the rest of the cell
• The organelle that contains energy (water and sugar) for the cell

The vacuole is only found in plant cells.

Question 8

What is a Chloroplast?

Answer 8

In Celluar Biology, a chloroplast is an organelle that photosynthesises to produce energy for the cell.

Question 9

What is the Cell Wall?

Answer 9

In Celluar Biology, the cell wall is the organelle that surrounds the cell membrane and gives the cell structure.
