Eukaryotic Cell Structure
1.Compare a Cell to a Factory (Include discussion of organelles?)
2. Circle each structure that animal cells contain: chloroplasts, lysosomes,
large central vacuole, mitochondria, ER, plasma membrane
3. Circle each structure that plant cells contain: cell wall,
ER , mitochondria, chloroplast, nucleus
plasma membrane,
Nucleus
4. What is the function of the nucleus?
5. What important molecules does the nucleus contain?
6. What are chromosomes?
7. Most nuclei contain a small, dense region known as the __________________
8. What is the nuclear envelope?
Ribosomes
9. What are ribosomes?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
10. What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER?
Golgi Apparatus
11. Using the cell as a factory analogy, describe the role of the Golgi apparatus
in the cell.
12. What are lysosomes and how do they do their job?
Vacuoles
13. What are vacuoles?
14. What is the role of the central vacuole in plants?
15. How does the contractile vacuole in a paramecium help maintain
homeostasis (balance)?
Cytoskeleton
16. What is the cytoskeleton?
17. Complete the table about structures that make up the cytoskeleton:
STRUCTURES OF THE CYTOSKELETON
Structure
Description
Functions
Maintain cell shape, help build cilia and flagella, form
centrioles in cell division
Support the cell, help cells move
MATCH the organelle with the description below:
Organelles:
Description:
____18. ribosome
A. Uses energy from sunlight to make food
____19. ER
B. Stack of membranes in which enzymes attach
carbohydrates and lipids to proteins
C. Uses energy from food to make high- energy
compounds
D. An internal membrane system in which components of
cell membrane and some proteins are constructed
E. Sac-like structure that stores materials
____20. Golgi apparatus
____21. lysosome
____22. vacuole
____23. chloroplast
____24. mitochondria
F. Small particle of RNA and protein that produces
protein following instructions from nucleus
G. Filled with enzymes used to breakdown food into
particles that can be used
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
25. What are mitochondria?
26. Are mitochondria found in plant cells, animal cells, or both? Explain why this
is so.
27. Draw a chloroplast. Where are chloroplasts found?
Flowchart:
A flowchart can help you remember the order in which events occur. Below
create a flowchart that describes how proteins are made in the cell.
