the thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell, but is inside the cell wall. It is semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others.
- A.
  
  Chloroplast
- B.
  
  Cytoplasm
- C.
  
  Cell membrane
Correct Answer

  Golgi body
- B.
  
  Nucleus
- C.
  
  Cell wall
Correct Answer
C. Cell wall
4.

Also called the "microtubule organizing center") a small body located near the nucleus - it has a dense center and radiating tubules. It is where microtubules are made. During cell division (mitosis), It divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. Unlike the centrosomes in animal cells, plant cell centrosomes do not have centrioles.
- A.
  
  Mitochondrion
- B.
  
  Centrosome
- C.
  
  Chloroplast
Correct Answer
B. Centrosome
5.

It is a molecule that can use light energy from sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide gas into sugar and oxygen (this process is called photosynthesis). It is magnesium based and is usually green.
- A.
  
  Ribosome
- B.
  
  Photosynthesis
- C.
  
  Chlorophyll
Correct Answer
C. Chlorophyll
6.

An elongated or disc-shaped organelle containing chlorophyll. Photosynthesis (in which energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy - food) takes place there.
- A.
  
  Chloroplast

Correct Answer
A. Vacuole
12.

A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted tubes that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). The space within the ER is called the ER lumen. It transport materials through the cell. It contains enzymes and produces and digests lipids (fats) and membrane proteins; It buds off from rough ER, moving the newly-made proteins and lipids to the Golgi body and membranes

Correct Answer
A. Ribosome
15.

A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted sacks that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). It is covered with ribosomes that give it a rough appearance. It transport materials through the cell and produces proteins in sacks called cisternae (which are sent to the Golgi body, or inserted into the cell membrane).
