2nd qtr: Parts of the cell

Question 1

The semipermeable membrane that surrounds the cell. Controls the substances that enter the cell. Allows discharge of waste materials.

Answer 1

Plasma Membrane

Question 2

Controls the activity of the cell.

Answer 2

Necleus

Question 3

Threadlike DNA-containing structures.

Answer 3

Chromosomes

Question 4

The most distinct structure of the nucleus, is where ribosomes are assembled.

Answer 4

Nucleolus

Question 5

Jelly-like substance that contains the organelles.

Answer 5

Cytoplasm

Question 6

Specialized parts of the cell that are analogous to the organs. Each organelle carries out specific functions in the cell.

Answer 6

Organelles

Question 7

Protein Assembler

Answer 7

Ribosome

Question 8

An extensive network of membranes.

Its two distinct regions that differ in structure and functions are the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)

Answer 8

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 9

The structure that appears rough because it is studded with ribosomes. Synthesis of the protein and insulin in pancreatic cells.

Answer 9

rough endoplasmic reticulum

Question 10

A structure whose outer surface lacks ribosomes, thus appearing “smooth”.

It functions in lipid synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, detoxification of drugs and poison, and also in the storage of irons.

Answer 10

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Question 11

Processes, packages, and stores cell secretions.

Answer 11

Golgi apparatus

Question 12

The powerhouse of the cell. It releases the needed energy for cell activities.

Answer 12

Mitochondrion

Question 13

Storage for water and substances.

Answer 13

Vacuole

Question 14

Stores enzymes for the digestion of carbohydrates, fates, and proteins.

Answer 14

Lysosome

Question 15

Contain the green pigment chlorophyll, which catches light energy. The site of photosynthesis.

Answer 15

Chloroplast

Question 16

A region near the nucleus, contains a pair of centrioles.

Answer 16

Centrosome

Question 17

Cylindrical structures that aid in cell division. Mainly composed of the protein tubulin.

Answer 17

Centrioles

Question 18

Are plant and animal cells: Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic?

Answer 18

They are both Eukaryotic Cells

Question 19

Have cell walls made of cellulose that protects, supports, and gives them shape.

Answer 19

Plant cells

Question 20

Have chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, the green pigment essential in photosynthesis.

Answer 20

Plant cells

Question 21

Have centrioles, which play an important role in cell division.

Answer 21

Animal cells

Question 22

Has a large vacuole that stores nutrients and other substances for plant growth.

Answer 22

Plant cells

Question 23

May have one or more small vacuoles that temporarily store water and wastes.

Answer 23

Animal cells
