Structures and Functions of Cells 2

In the Wonka factory analogy, what cell part is represented by the "main office" where recipes (instructions) are made?
A. Golgi apparatus
B. Nucleus
C. Mitochondria
D. Rough ER

Answer: B (Key: The nucleus stores DNA, which provides "instructions" for cellular functions, like Wonka’s office.)

Which organelle is analogous to the "choco-hall" where chocolates (proteins) are assembled?
A. Lysosomes
B. Ribosomes
C. Smooth ER
D. Vacuoles

Answer: B (Key: Ribosomes synthesize proteins, akin to the choco-hall assembling chocolates.)

What cell structure matches the "customization shop" that modifies chocolates before export?
A. Golgi apparatus
B. Chloroplast
C. Cytoskeleton
D. Nuclear envelope

Answer: A (Key: The Golgi modifies and packages proteins for export, like the shop customizes chocolates.)

Which part of the cell is symbolized by the "brick walls with tiny openings" in Wonka’s factory?
A. Cell membrane
B. Cell wall
C. Nuclear membrane
D. Cytoskeleton

Answer: A (Key: The cell membrane regulates entry/exit, like factory walls with controlled access.)

What organelle corresponds to the "solar panels" that trap energy in the analogy?
A. Mitochondria
B. Chloroplast
C. Lysosome
D. Ribosome

Answer: B (Key: Chloroplasts convert sunlight to energy in plants, similar to solar panels.)

Which cellular component is represented by the "batteries" storing energy in the factory?
A. Vacuoles
B. Mitochondria
C. Rough ER
D. Nucleolus

Answer: B (Key: Mitochondria store energy as ATP, analogous to batteries.)

What part of the cell functions like the "concrete beams and columns" supporting Wonka’s factory?
A. Cytoskeleton
B. Golgi apparatus
C. Lysosomes
D. Nuclear envelope

Answer: A (Key: The cytoskeleton provides structural support, like beams and columns.)

Which organelle is analogous to the "special carts" transporting chocolates within the factory?
A. Vesicles
B. Nucleus
C. Chloroplast
D. Ribosomes

Answer: A (Key: Vesicles transport materials within the cell, like carts move chocolates.)

In the analogy, what cell part matches the "tech room" where assembly instructions are prepared?
A. Nucleolus
B. Smooth ER
C. Lysosome
D. Cell wall

Answer: A (Key: The nucleolus produces ribosomes, which are "assembly instructions" for proteins.)

Which structure is symbolized by the "steel beams" maintaining the factory’s shape?
A. Microfilaments
B. Intermediate filaments
C. Microtubules
D. All of the above

Answer: D (Key: All cytoskeletal fibers (microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules) provide structural support.)
