Cell Challenge
• As a group, quietly discuss each
question and agree upon one
correct answer. The group with the
most correct answers will win
extra credit.
1) Who first observed cells when he
examined cork underneath an early
microscope?
2) Which organisms are the only living
prokaryotes?
3) Name two functions of the lysosome.
4) Identify this organelle,
5) What is usually determined by the
shape of a cell?
6) Which organelle transports proteins
towards the Golgi body?
7) Name two organelles that plant cells
have and animal cells don’t.
8) Identify this organelle.
9) Identify this organelle.
10) Besides the chloroplast, which
other organelle is thought to have
evolved according to the theory of
endosymbiosis?
11) What are cells called that have a
nucleus?
12) Identify these organelles (green
spheres).
13) Identify this organelle.
14) Identify this organelle.
15) Name the sac, proteins are placed
within by the Golgi Body before being
shipped away.
16)Which organelle is created by the
nucleolus?
17) Which organelle stores water and
waste within cells?
18) Name the organelle (tiny dots) in
this picture.
19) Which organelle produces the
molecule ATP that is required by all
cells?
20) Place the steps of protein creation
in the order from start to finish.
Step A
Ribosomes
attach and travel
along the rough
ER
Step B
Nucleolus
creates the
ribosome
Step D
Vesicle protects the
protein and releases
it from the cell
Step C
Protein created by
the ribosome is
passed to the
Golgi body
Step E
Ribosomes exit
the nucleus
