VST- Cell Quest Set 5

Labeled Cell Diagrams

Select one of the chloroplasts in the diagram.

The castle garden soaks in the sun’s warm rays, Like chloroplasts in cells on bright, sunny days. Look closer—each plant in the garden you see, Has cells with chloroplasts, working endlessly. Answer the questions about chloroplasts to prove what you know, Complete the challenge and let your journey grow!

Welcome to the castle's kitchen, the heart of meal preparation, Much like a cell’s mitochondria, the site of cellular respiration. Glucose is transformed into ATP—the cell’s essential fuel, Just as a hearty feast sustains all under the castle’s rule. Put your understanding of mitochondria to the test, To exit the castle's kitchen and continue your quest!

Well done! Continue down to the castle's tunnels.

To the tunnels

Labeled Cell Diagrams

Select the endoplasmic reticulum in the diagram.

The castle’s tunnels are like the endoplasmic reticulum,Pathways that move supplies with purpose and precision. The rough ER builds proteins, assembling them with care, While the smooth ER makes lipids and sends them everywhere. These passageways keep everything running without delay— Complete the challenge questions to proceed on your way!

Chloroplasts

Plant Cell

Magnified Plant Cells with Moving Chloroplasts

• Chloroplasts are organelles found in plants and some protists.
• Plant cells have many chloroplasts, especially in leaf cells, where most photosynthesis happens.
• They use sunlight to make glucose, a sugar that stores energy.
• Chlorophyll inside helps absorb sunlight.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Plant Cell

Animal Cell

• The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of folded membranes found in plant, animal, fungi, and protist cells (all eukaryotic cells).
• It helps make and transport materials within the cell.
• The rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is responsible for making proteins.
• The smooth ER has no ribosomes and is responsible for producing lipids (fats).

Mitochondria

Plant Cell

Animal Cell

• Mitochondria are bean-shaped organelles found in plant, animal, fungi, and protist cells (all eukaryotic cells).
• They are known as the "powerhouses of the cell" because they produce energy.
• Mitochondria use oxygen and glucose to produce ATP (energy) through cellular respiration.
• Cells that need more energy, like muscle cells, have more mitochondria.
• Mitochondrion" is singular, while "mitochondria" is plural, meaning one cell can have one mitochondrion or many mitochondria.

Vacuole(s)

Plant Cell

Animal Cell

• A vacuole is a membrane-bound storage sac found in plant, animal, fungal, and protist cells.
• It holds water, nutrients, and waste until they are used or removed.
• Plant cells have a large central vacuole that stores water, maintains turgor pressure, and provides structural support to keep the plant upright.
• Animal cells have multiple small vacuoles for storage and waste management.
