Q

These structures are what proteins are assembled on. They are not membrane bound and are made by the nucleolus. They are either bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER) or are free-floating in the cytoplasm
(Made of rRNA+proteins. But NO membrane)

22
Q

What is an organelle?

A

Specialized structures in a eukaryotic cell that preforms important (and separate) cellular functions.

23
Q

What are the structures that makes up every living thing and are the basic units of life?

A

Cells

24
Q

How do microscopes work?

A

They use lenses to magnify the image of an object by focusing light or electrons.

25
Q

Microtubules that help organize cell division, make spindle fibers (tracks for chromosomes),and are located next to the nucleus. Only found in animal cells.

A

Centrioles

26
Q

An internal membrane system only found in eukaryotes where lipids proteins, and other materials are assembled.

A

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

27
Q

Structure, that has 2 membranes, that is found in plants and some other organisms that captures energy from the sunlight and converts it to food that contains chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis.

A

Chloroplast

28
Q

Structure that has 2 membranes that nearly all eukaryotes have that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that the cell can use. Aka the powerhouse of the cell.

A

Mitochondria

29
Q

What happens at the ER?

A

It assembles components of the cell membrane and modifies some proteins
(Fixing/making the cell ‘better’ - like the emergency room)

30
Q

Most cell membranes are made of double layered sheets of lipids that gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings called

A

A lipid bilayer

31
Q

Why are cell membranes selectively permeable and what does that mean?

A

The cell membrane selects what substances can or can not pass across them to make sure nothing harmful can get into the cell

32
Q

What are 4 things that all cells have in common?

A

All cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA

33
Q

What makes plant and animal cells different?

A

Plant cells: cell walls, chloroplast, larger vacuoles

Animal cells: lysosomes, centrioles

34
Q

What does phospholipid bilayer mean?

A 
Phospho= the head, hydrophilic (water loving), faces outward
Lipid= tails, hydrophobic (hates water), face inward, only touch each other 
Bilayer= 2 layers
35
Q

What uses energy from sunlight to make food molecules?

A

Chloroplast

36
Q

What uses energy from food to make high-energy compounds?

A

Mitochondria

37
Q

What process occurs in chloroplast?

A

Photosynthesis

38
Q

What are Microtubulents made out of?

A

Hollow structures

A protein called tubulins

39
Q

What are microfilaments made up of?

A

Thread like structures

Made up of a protein called actin

40
Q

Eukaryotes cells have a dozen of specialized structures called what?

A

Organelles

41
Q

What are plant cells mostly made up of?

A

Cellulose fiber (that is strong)

42
Q

What is the main function of the cell wall?

A

Support, shape, and protect the cell

43
Q

What is it called when a lysomone releases its strong digestive enzymes all at once and destroys the cell?

A

Autolysis

Cell suicide

44
Q

What is the function of lysosomes?

A

They are the ‘clean-up crew’

They destroy the bacteria that your white blood cells engulf

45
Q

What makes the ER ‘rough’?

A

It has ribosomes attached it

46
Q

These organelles break down the cells waste products and detoxify poisons

A

Lysosomes

Peroxisomes

47
Q

This network of folds is dotted with ribosomes, which make proteins. It ships these proteins to the cell membrane or to other organelles.

A 
Endoplasmic reticulum
(ER)
48
Q

This organelle often ships proteins to the Golgi apparatus

A 
Endoplasmic reticulum
(ER)
49
Q

This fluid maintains the internal pressure of the cell, and holds many important nutrients

A

Cytoplasm

50
Q

These organelles produce a molecule called ATP which serves as fuel for the cell

A

Mitochondria

51
Q

Like a packaging plant, this organelle puts lipids and proteins in packets and sends them to different parts of the cell

A

Golgi apparatus

52
Q

These little organelles flow instructions from the nucleus and create proteins that the cells needs

A

Ribosomes

53
Q

This thin lining controls what molecules enter and leave the cell

A

Plasma membrane

54
Q

This organelle contains the DNA

A

Nucleus
