Cell Review
1. List the three statements that are usually part of cell theory.
2. Which organelle is found on the ER and is a tool for putting proteins together?
3. What is usually stored in vacuoles in the cell?
4. What does a lysosome contain?
5. What is the function of the Golgi Complex?
6. Name an organelle to go with each statement below:
_____________________________ these organelles take in sugar and release the energy from it so
other cells can use it, kind of like a little power plant inside the cell
_____________________________ these are filled with chlorophyll to trap energy from the sun and
store it as sugar, known as the site of photosynthesis
_____________________________ this part holds the cell together and controls what gets into the cell
and what is let out of the cell
_____________________________ made of mostly water and some dissolved materials, this gel inside
the cell surrounds the organelles
_____________________________ made of carbohydrates like cellulose, this outer layer protects a cell
like a suit of armor.
_____________________________ this organelle is the control center for the cell because it holds the
chromosomes, which are the directions for how to make all the cell’s parts
7. What types of cells have both a cell membrane and a cell wall?
8. What types of cells have chloroplasts?
9. What is the name of the reaction that releases energy from sugars and puts the energy
into a form that cells can use?
10. What function can cilia and flagella both help cells to do?
11. Are the directions (chromosomes) in each of your cells the same?
