The Big Cells Test Review
Directions: Write the name of the organelle that performs each cell
function in the space provided.
cell membrane
nucleus
ribososmes
endoplasmic reticulum
mitochondria
golgi complex
vaculoes
lysosomes
1. _______________ This organelle controls what enters and leaves the
cell. It is known as the cell’s “gatekeeper.”
2. _______________ This organelle “burns” food molecules. It turns food
energy into cellular energy.
3. _______________ These structures are like little protein factories.
4. _______________ This organelle is the packaging center for the cell.
It processes proteins and other materials.
5. _______________ This organelle is the recycling center for the cell.
It also destroys worn out cell parts and destroys cell invaders.
6. _______________ This structure is the control center for the cell. It
stores the cell’s DNA.
7. _______________ This structure stores water and other liquids for
the cell. They are very big in plant cells.
8. _______________ This organelle is the delivery system for the cell.
Many ribosomes do their work here. (It is a network of membranes located
outside of the nucleus).
Directions: Answer the following questions. These will resemble the
multiple choice questions on your test.
