A

Plant cells

22
Q

Fill in the blank: The ____________ is the powerhouse of the cell that generates energy.

A

mitochondria

23
Q

What is the organelle responsible for detoxifying harmful substances in both animal and plant cells?

A

Golgi apparatus

24
Q

Which type of cell has a more diverse range of shapes and sizes?

A

Animal cells

25
Q

Nucleus

A

Contains DNA and controls cell activities.

26
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Gel-like substance where cellular processes occur.

27
Q

Cell Membrane

A

Semi-permeable barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell.

28
Q

Mitochondria

A

Powerhouses of the cell that produce energy.

29
Q

Ribosomes

A

Ribosomes are small parts of cells that make proteins. They read instructions from messenger RNA (mRNA) and put together amino acids to build proteins, which help the body function. You can find them in the cytoplasm or on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum.

30
Q

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):

A

Involved in protein and lipid synthesis (rough ER has ribosomes; smooth ER does not).

31
Q

Golgi Apparatus:

A

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport.

32
Q

Lysosomes

A

Contain enzymes for digestion and waste removal.

33
Q

Cytoplasm

A

The cytoplasm of an animal cell is the gel-like substance that fills the interior, excluding the nucleus. It consists of cytosol (the fluid part), organelles (like mitochondria and ribosomes), and various molecules.

34
Q

Cytosol

A

Cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm in an animal cell, excluding the organelles and other structures. It is mainly composed of water, ions, proteins, and small molecules.

  • Medium for Chemical Reactions: Cytosol provides the environment for various metabolic processes, such as glycolysis.
  • Transport: It facilitates the movement of molecules and ions throughout the cell.
  • Cell Signalling: Cytosol contains signaling molecules that help transmit signals within the cell.
  • Support: It helps maintain the shape of the cell by providing a medium that supports organelles.
35
Q

Chloroplasts

A

Site of photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using chlorophyll.

36
Q

Cell Wall

A

A rigid outer layer made of cellulose that provides structural support and protection.

37
Q

Vacuole

A

A large central vacuole stores water, nutrients, and waste products; helps maintain turgor pressure.

38
Q

Nucleus

A

Contains genetic material and regulates cell activities.

39
Q

Mitochondria

A

Produce energy through cellular respiration.

40
Q

Peroxisomes

A

Break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances.

41
Q

Cells using energy

A

C6H1206 (glucose)+6O2(oxygen)+6C02(carbon dioxide)+6H2O (water)+enegry that can be used by living things
