Unit 2 Study Guide: Cell Parts & Functions, Cell Processes, & Human Body Systems

Question

18. In a factory there are different departments. Organelles can be compared to different
departments of a working factory. In the illustration above each department is numbered. Match
each number (department) with the correct corresponding cell organelle/cell part.
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
#6
#7
#8

Answer 1

Sure! While I can't see the illustration you mentioned, I can help you match some common cell organelles with their functions, which could correspond to "departments" in a factory setting. Here are some typical organelles and their functions:

1. Nucleus - Control center of the cell; contains DNA and regulates all cell activities (comparable to management).
2. Ribosomes - Sites of protein synthesis; can be thought of as the assembly line.
3. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - Involved in protein and lipid synthesis; can be compared to the production department.
4. Golgi Apparatus - Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport; similar to a packaging/shipping department.
5. Mitochondria - Powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP (energy); like the energy supply or power department.
6. Lysosomes - Digests macromolecules and cleans up waste; similar to maintenance or recycling department.
7. Cell Membrane - Regulates what enters and exits the cell; on the factory level, it could be the security department.
8. Cytoplasm - A jelly-like substance that fills the cell and supports organelles; comparable to the workspace/floor area.

If you have specific numbers associated with certain organelles and parts, please let me know, and I can help you match them more precisely!
