Question

match the cell part with its function:

1. mitochondria
2. ribosomes
3. golgi apparatus
4. lysosomes
5. nucleus
6. nucleolus
7. cilia
8. microtubules
9. rough endoplasmic reticulum
10. smooth endoplasmic reticulum

a. transports proteins
b. packages proteins for export
c. moves the cell (or things past the cell)
d. helps maintain the cells shape
e. provides energy for the cell
f. contains enzymes to break down food
g. creates and stores lipids
h. contains the cells chromosomes (dna)
i. makes proteins
j. makes ribosomes

Explanation:

1. Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, generating ATP which provides energy for the cell.
2. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.
3. The Golgi Apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for export.
4. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to break down food, waste, and foreign particles.
5. The Nucleus contains the cell's chromosomes (DNA), which carry genetic information.
6. The Nucleolus is involved in ribosome synthesis.
7. Cilia are hair - like structures that can move the cell or move things past the cell.
8. Microtubules are part of the cytoskeleton and help maintain the cell's shape.
9. The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (with ribosomes attached) is involved in protein transport.
10. The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in lipid synthesis and storage.
