Name the following eukaryotic structures based on these statements...?

I know this is a long question and it's not for an assignment but a review for a test that I am clearly not ready for. This is for a review worksheet that our professor gave us to help us study. Do all of these statements apply to eukaryotic cells? I can't locate them all in my book or notes or wordlist. I can find them for prokaryotic cells though, for example cellulose. Would appreciate any help! =) As you can see I have attempted to answer some of them but not sure if they are correct.

18. Name the eukaryotic structure described by each statement below. More than one answer may be possible.

a. Which eukaryotic structure is the most numerous? Ribosomes

b. is not membrane bound? Ribosome

c. is commonly known as suicide sacs? Lysosomes.

d. is found in both smooth and rough? Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

e. contains H2O2? Peroxisomes

f. is typically associated with plant cells and can store water, waste, toxins, and pigments?

g. is known as the powerhouse of the cell? Mitochondria

h. is involved in storage, modification, and packaging of proteins?

i. contains an inner membrane known as cristae?

j. contains chlorophyll? Chloroplasts

k. functions as a protein factory?Ribosome

l. modifies and transport proteins through the cytoplasm? Endoplasmic reticulum

m. stores starch?

n. is the center of cellular respiration?

o. is the location of photosynthesis?

p. contains carotenoid pigments? Chromoplast

q. contains cellulose?

r. is composed of microtubules?

s. is composed of a phospholipid bilayer and protein?

t. is composed of chitin?

u. is composed of a stack of fluid filled vesicles called cisterns?

v. is the size of a bacterial cell, contains it’s own DNA, can produce some proteins and replicates on its own separate from the cell?

w. is known as the control center?

x. is responsible for cell movement?

y. is involved in the transport of molecules into and out of the cell?

z. provides a three dimensional shape to the cell?

    They all appear to be Eukaryotic structures to me.. I added some answers in BOLD to help out. You may want to check them yourself though.
