Organelles Practice Quiz
Just like organs in our bodies, the tiny little cells within them contain their own cell organelles – structures with specific functions that contribute in their own way to allowing the cell to operate properly as a whole. Some examples of cell organelles include the mitochondria, chloroplasts and the nucleus. What else can you tell us about the cell organelles? Take the quiz to find out!
