Eukaryotic Cell Organelles and Functions

Which organelle, often considered the control center of eukaryotic cells, contains the cell's genetic material (DNA)?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

• Vacuole

Which cell structure is found in all cells, is external, controls what enters and leaves the cell, and helps maintain homeostasis?

• Cell wall

• Cytoplasm

• Cell membrane

• Nucleus

Which external cell structure provides additional protection and helps maintain cell shape, being present in most prokaryotic cells and some eukaryotic cells like plant cells?

• Cell membrane

• Cell wall

• Cytoplasm

• Centrioles

Which structures are found in eukaryotic cells (but not all), come from the centrosome (two per centrosome), and are involved in cell division?

• Ribosomes

• Chloroplasts

• Centrioles

• Vacuoles

Which organelle is found in some eukaryotic cells, such as plant cells, and is responsible for making sugar through photosynthesis?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

What is the term for all the material inside a eukaryotic cell, excluding the nucleus, which includes cytosol and the cytoskeleton?

• Cytosol

• Cytoskeleton

• Cytoplasm

• Cell membrane

Which organelle, found in eukaryotic cells, has many folds, helps transport materials around the cell, processes molecules, and comes in rough and smooth types?

• Golgi apparatus

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Vacuole

Which organelle receives assembled items from the ER, then modifies, sorts, and packages materials for delivery within or outside the cell?

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Golgi apparatus

• Lysosome

• Vacuole

What is the primary function of the Golgi apparatus?

• Producing ATP for energy.

• Storing genetic material.

• Modifying, sorting, and packaging materials for delivery.

• Breaking down waste materials.

Which organelle contains enzymes that break down substances and is often referred to as the 'recycling center' of the cell?

• Ribosome

• Lysosome

• Mitochondrion

• Nucleus
