Chapter 3: Problem 5

Match the organelle in the left hand column of the table below with its function in the right hand column. Organelle a. Nucleus b. Mitochondrion c. Golgi body d. Rough endoplasmic reticulum e. Lysosome f. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Function 1\. Modifies proteins and fats 2\. Makes, modifies and stores proteins 3\. Digests worn out organelles 4\. Makes fats 5\. Controls the activity of the cell proteins 6\. Produces energy

Short Answer

Expert verified
The correct match is: a. Nucleus - 5. Controls the activity of the cell proteins, b. Mitochondrion - 6. Produces energy, c. Golgi body - 1. Modifies proteins and fats, d. Rough endoplasmic reticulum - 2. Makes, modifies and stores proteins, e. Lysosome - 3. Digests worn out organelles, f. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum - 4. Makes fats

Step by step solution

01

Match Organelle to Function

For each organelle in turn, think about its known function(s), and compare that with the functions listed. If a match is found then that organelle and function can be paired. This process is repeated for each organelle.
02

Nucleus

The nucleus controls the activity of the cell proteins. So, match Nucleus (a) with 5.
03

Mitochondrion

The mitochondrion produces energy. So, match Mitochondrion (b) with 6.
04

Golgi body

The Golgi body modifies proteins and fats. So, match Golgi body (c) with 1.
05

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

The rough endoplasmic reticulum makes, modifies and stores proteins. So, match Rough endoplasmic reticulum (d) with 2.
06

Lysosome

The lysosome digests worn out organelles. So, match Lysosome (e) with 3.
07

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes fats. So, match Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (f) with 4.
