1
3 Match the eukaryotic cell organelle to its function or characteristic.
Organelle Function or characteristic
_A___1 Mitochondrion (a) Contains cristae and matrix
__F__2 Chloroplast (b) Occurs free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic
reticulum
_G___3 Golgi apparatus (c) Cell organelle with hydrolytic enzymes
__H__4 Endoplasmic (d) A membrane-enclosed organelle that can function as storage
reticulum
_B___5 Ribosomes (e) Paired organelles from which microtubules originate in animal
cells
__C__6 Lysosome (f) Surrounded by a double membrane and carries out
photosynthesis
__E__7 Centrioles (g) Flattened sacs that function in exocytosis
__D__8 Vacuoles (h) A transporting structure that can exist in a rough or smooth
form
4. Magnification- Magnification is the number of times larger an image is compared with the real size of
the object. In order to calculate magnification, you need to divide the size of the image by the actual
size of the specimen.
a- Yesterday in biology lab you are looked at onion cells under a microscope and want to know how
big the cells really are. You measure the size of the cells as it appears and find out that is measures
20mm with a magnification of x450. Work out the actual size of the cell.
450 = 20 / a
450a = 20
a=20/450
a = 0.04
2
b- What is the size of a virus head in the image , if its actual size is 6.8mm and it has been magnified
x2500?
2500 = b/ 6.8
17000 = b
The size of a virus head in the image = 17000mm after it has been magnified x2500.
