A: The right answer is Vacuole

Vacuoles are organelles present in plant cells. It is a large single structure, of variable shape according to the cells, delimited by a lipid membrane called tonoplast.

The vacuoles allow the storage of water, ions, sugars, ... and by magnifying, play an important role in the growth of the plant.


B: The right answer is Mitochondria

Mitochondria are organelles present in eukaryoptic cells. The mitochondrion is composed of a double membrane, the inner membrane being folded into mitochondrial ridges.

Mitochondria are the organelles that produce the energy of the cell. The mitochondria thus have a role of power station for the cell. They are the ones who perform cellular respiration.


C: The right answer is Cell membrane (the inside layer)

All cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) are separated from their environment by a palsmic membrane.

The plasma membrane is the line of demarcation between the cell and its environment (= envelope of the cell).

It determines what goes into the cell and what comes out of it. Like all biological membranes, the plasma membrane has a selective permeability, that is to say it is allowed to pass through certain substances more easily than others.

The plasma membrane consists of a double lipid layer in which proteins are inserted.


D: The right answer is Chloroplast

Chloroplasts are important organelles specific to plant cells. Chloroplasts appear green ... They contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures solar energy.

Choroplasts perform photosynthesis, that is, they absorb sunlight and use it for the manufacture (synthesis) of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water.


E: The right answer is Lysosome

The lysosome is a small spherical structure (a vesicle) delimited by a lipid membrane located in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The membrane contains ion channels (proton pumps) that allow the active entry of H + ions, in order to maintain an acid pH (between 3.5 and 5) within the lysosomal vesicle.

Lysosomes are organelles of eukaryotic cells that contain a mixture of digestive enzymes used to degrade macromolecules.

Lysosomes are considered the "stomach" of the cell.


F: The right answer is Endoplasmic reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum are organelles of eukaryotes that extend throughout the cytoplasm (like a labyrinth). These are organelles that produce proteins and play a vital role in the development of the other membranes of the cell.
