____ 1. The largest organelle in the cell. It directs all activities and works as the “brains” of the cell.

        a.)  cytoplasm                       b.)  chromatin                      c.)  nucleus

____ 2. This organelle acts as a cleanup crew. It gets rid of waste products from within the cell.

        a.)  ribosomes                     b.)  lysosomes                       c.)  nucleolus

____ 3. The organelle that is responsible for providing energy to the cell so that it can continue to live. Also referred to as the "power plant" of the cell.

        a.)  mitochondria                 b.)  chromatin                       c.)  cytoplasm

_____ 4. Strands of protein and DNA (which carries genetic information) that are found within the nucleus are called:

        a.)  nuclear envelope          b.)  endoplasmic reticulum   c.)  chromatin.

____ 5. A small spherical body that is found within the nucleus that is responsible for making ribosome parts is called:    

        a.)  vacuoles                       b.)  nucleolus                          c.)  ribosomes.

_____ 6. With the help of the endoplasmic reticulum, it packages and moves proteins to the outside of the cell.

        a.)  cytoplasm                     b.) golgi (apparatus) bodies     c.)  lysosomes

____ 7. The part of the cell that forms the outer boundary and allows certain materials to move in and out of the cell.

        a.)  nuclear envelope         b.)  chromatin                           c.)  cell membrane

_____ 8. This organelle moves proteins and other materials from place to place within the cell. It acts as a cellular highway.

        a.)  ribosomes                     b.)  endoplasmic reticulum       c.)  vacuoles

_____ 9. A gel-like material inside the cell membrane that contains the organelles; it contains water and nutrients for the cell.

        a.)  cytoplasm                     b.)  nucleus                                c.)  nucleolus

_____ 10. Part of the cell that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm;  it allows materials to enter and leave the nucleus.

        a.) cell membrane             b.)  nuclear envelope                 c.)  ribosomes

_____ 11. The cell part that stores materials such as food (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates), water and waste materials.

        a.)  mitochondria              b.)  endoplasmic reticulum         c.)  vacuoles

_____ 12. Small structures within a cell whose main job is to assemble and make proteins.

        a.)  ribosomes                  b.)  lysosomes                              c.)  chromatin
