  1. 3. A cell organelle that is covered with two membranes. Internal environment of the organelle is liquid containing ribosomes, DNA, and enzymes. In the presence of oxygen, the organelle releases energy that is used for ATP synthesis.
  2. 6. A cell organelle that accumulates substances synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum as well as transports these substances further in vesicles.
  3. 9. Small organelles located on the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the outer cells of the nuclear membrane, and are found freely in the cytoplasm. These organelles synthesize proteins in the cell.
  4. 12. A system of cisterns and tubes made of membranes. Does not contain ribosomes attached to it. Synthesizes lipids and neutralizes substances.
  5. 15. Present in plasma membrane of plant, fungal, and bacterial cells. Cell wall in plasma membrane of plant cells contain more cellulose, fungal cells - chitin, bacterial cells – murein.
  6. 16. Organelles that are enclosed with a membrane in plant cells and contain enzyme catalase. They process lipids and carbohydrates. They also breakdown hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
  7. 18. Cell organelles that are enclosed with a membrane. Contain enzymes. Provide a breakdown of various substances and cell structures.

  1. 1. Small and hairy organelles on the surface of cells that beat in synchronized motion to create movement. They are located in respiratory tract (are involved in movement of mucus and debris) and female reproductive tract (are involved in movement of eggs).
  2. 2. A semifluid substance in the cell. Provides metabolism in the cell and interaction between organelles.
  3. 4. An organelle located only in prokaryotic cells that contains cell’s genetic information.
  4. 5. A system of cisterns and tubes made of membranes. Contains ribosomes attached to it. Synthesizes proteins as well as provides transformation and transport of proteins.
  5. 7. Located mostly in plant cells. They are enclosed with a membrane and contain cell sap. They also store nutrients and regulate internal pressure of the cell as well as absorb water into the cell.
  6. 8. Short and hairy organelles on the surface of cells that help bacteria adhere in host tissue. They also have sensory functions to environmental conditions or chemical signals.
  7. 10. Plant cell organelles. They are distinguished into three types of plastids: chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and leucoplasts. Chloroplasts convert carbon dioxide and turn it into organic compounds in photosynthesis. Chromoplasts provide color to plant tissues. Leucoplasts are colorless with a function of storing various substances, energy, and nutrients for the plant’s development and reproduction.
  8. 11. Found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and help organisms in movement.
  9. 13. A central organelle enclosed by a double membrane that contains chromatin, nucleolus, and genetic information. It also regulates cell’s activity. Located only in eukaryotic cells and produces components of ribosomes that later enter cytoplasm. Chromatin is a material from which chromosomes are produced.
  10. 14. Organelles only in plant and fungal cells. They convert stored fats into sugars.
  11. 17. Located only in eukaryotic cells. Consists of microtubules and protein filaments. Forms the cell and gives the cell its stability as well as provides internal cellular transport.
