The Virtual Cell Worksheet

1. Centrioles are only found in ___animal_____ cells. They function in cell Centriole
____division______. They have _9_ groups of __3___ arrangement of the protein fibers.
Draw a picture of a centriole in the box.

2. Lysosomes are called _____suicide________ sacks. They are produced by the


__Golgi____ body. They consist of a single membrane surrounding powerful
____digestive_____ enzymes. Those lumpy brown structures are digestive
_____________. They help protect you by ___destroying______ the bacteria that Lysosomes
your white blood cells engulf. __Lysosomes___ act as a clean-up crew for the cell.
Zoom in and draw what you see.

3. Chloroplasts are the site of ____photosynthesis____. They consist of a __double__


membrane. The stacks of disk like structures are called the __grana___. The
membranes connecting them are the _thylakoid_____ membranes. Zoom in and
draw a picture. Chloroplasts

4. Mitochondrion is the ___powerhouse_____ of the cell. It is the site of


___respiration_____. It has a __double _____ membrane. The inner membrane is
where most __aerobic____ respiration occurs. The inner membranes is _ruffled__
with a very large surface area. These ruffles are called __cristae__. Mitochondria
have their own __DNA_ and manufacture some of their own ____protein___. Draw a Mitochondrion
picture of the mitochondrion with its membrane cut.

5. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a series of double membranes that __loop_ back


and forth between the cell membrane and the __nucleus__. These membranes fill the
___cytoplasm______ but you cannot see them because they are very
___transparent____. The rough E.R. has
___ribosomes_______ attached to it. This gives it its texture. These ribosomes Endoplasmic
manufacture
Reticulum (ER)
__proteins_______ for the cell. The ribosomes are the
___organelles_____ which manufacture proteins. Draw the rough ER with a
ribosome.

6. Smooth E.R. __lacks__ ribosomes. It acts as a ______pathway______ throughout


the cytoplasm. It runs from the cell membrane to the nuclear ___membranes____ and
Smooth ER
throughout the rest of the cell. It also produces ___lipids____ for the cell. Draw a
picture of the smooth ER.

7. Cell Membrane performs a number of critical functions for the __cell__. It regulates
all that __enters___ and leaves the cell; in multicellular organisms it allows _self__
recognition. Draw and shade the cell membrane.
Cell Membrane
8. Nucleus is called the ____headquarters_____ of the cell. It is a large __dark__ spot
in eukaryotic cells. It ___controls___ all cell activity. The nuclear membrane has
many
___pores____. The thick ropy strands are the _____chromatin___________. The
large solid spot is the ____nucleolus_______. The nucleolus is a spot of Nucleolus
___condensed____ chromatin. It manufactures ____ribosomes______. The
chromatin is ___DNA____ in its active form. It is a _____combination___________ of
DNA and histone proteins. It stores the information needed for the manufacture of
___proteins______. Draw a picture of the nucleus and its nucleolus.

Golgi Body
9. Golgi Body is responsible for packaging ____proteins______ for the cell. Once the proteins are
produced by the __rough____ E.R., they pass into the __sack___ like cisternae that are the main
part of the Golgi body. These proteins are then squeezed off into the little ____blebs___ which drift
off into the cytoplasm. Draw a picture of the Golgi Body as it is squeezing off the proteins.
