B. From your answers above, write the letter in column A to answer the questions. On column C,
check whether the cell parts are present in eukaryotic and/or prokaryotic cells. If it is
present in eukaryotic cells, check in column D whether it is present in animal and/or plant
cells.

1. It is the exit site of the produced mRNA, tRNA, and
ribosomes.
2. It can serve as storage of substances such as water and
organic compounds.
3. It is made of filaments which function in cell shape,
contractions, compression and tension of specific
tissues.
4. It is not considered an organelle since it is not bounded
by a membrane. It can be free or bound and has two
subunits.
5. This organelle forms a network of interconnected sacs
called cisternae. It has two regions which functions
differently in terms of their transported products. It has
bound ribosomes.
 6. They are made of protein and are widely used for the
locomotion of cells.
7. It is a membrane-bound bodies which contain cis and
trans face. Its membranes pinches off to form a vesicle,
being ready for transport.
8. It contains the genetic material of the cell which instruct
other organelles for their function. These are composed
of nucleotides and proteins.
9. An organelle that contains hydrolytic enzymes to digest
food, kill foreign body and recycle worn out organelles.
10. This organelle takes part in the cellular respiration and
has its own circular DNA. Its structure consists of an
inner and outer membrane, matric and cristae.
11. It is where the production of ribosomal RNA takes
place.
12. An additional cell covering of certain organisms. It can
be made up of cellulose or peptidoglycan.

C. Answer the following questions in not more than 5 sentences. (5 points each)

1. How can you tell that a cell is a living organism?

2. Why are the organelles bound by a membrane?

3. How did chloroplast and mitochondria obtained their own DNA?

4. Describe how proteins are transported from the nucleus to the specific organelles.
