Organelles Function Practice

Which organelle provides protection and support for the plant cell? (The animal does not have one.)

• cell wall
• chloroplasts
• vacuole
• ribosome
• plasma (cell) membrane

site of photosynthesis (converts solar energy into chemical energy)

• chloroplasts
• cell wall
• vacuole
• ribosome
• plasma (cell) membrane

vesicle used for temporary storage

• vacuole
• cell wall
• chloroplasts
• ribosome
• plasma (cell) membrane

site of protein synthesis (not a system of membranes) -- this organelle puts amino acids together to form proteins

• ribosome
• cell wall
• chloroplasts
• vacuole
• plasma (cell) membrane

controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell

• plasma (cell) membrane
• cell wall
• chloroplasts
• vacuole
• ribosome

contains the directions for the production of proteins and cell division

• nucleus
• cell wall
• chloroplasts
• vacuole
• ribosome

makes energy available to the rest of the cell by transforming energy from food molecules into ATP

• mitochondria
• cell wall
• chloroplasts
• vacuole
• ribosome

highly folded membrane that is the site of protein synthesis

• endoplasmic reticulum
• cell wall
• chloroplasts
• vacuole
• ribosome

modifies proteins and packages them for distribution

• Golgi apparatus
• cell wall
• chloroplasts
• vacuole
• ribosome

contains digestive enzymes and functions to break down excess or worn-out cellular substances or invaders

• lysosome
• cell wall
• chloroplasts
• vacuole
• ribosome
