Bacterial Cell Organelles

Question 1

What is the Flagella?

Answer 1

In Celluar Biology, flagella are whip-like tails that help the cell to move.

Question 2

What is the Cell Wall?

Answer 2

In Celluar Biology, the cell wall is the organelle that surrounds the cell membrane and gives the cell structure.

Question 3

What is the Cell Membrane?

Answer 3

In Celluar Biology, a cell membrane is:

• The semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasmof a cell.
• The organelle that controls what enters and exits the cell

Question 4

What is a Plasmid?

Answer 4

In Celluar Biology, a plasmid is an organelle that contains extra DNA. Some of the DNA is anti-bacterial.

Question 5

What is the Cytoplasm?

Answer 5

In Celluar Biology, the cytoplasm is:

• The liquid that gives the cell structure
• The liquid inside the cell in which chemical reactions take place

Question 6

What is the Nucleoid?

Answer 6

In Celluar Biology, the nucleoid is a collection of free-floating DNA inside the bacteria.

Question 7

What is a Ribosome?

Answer 7

In Celluar Biology, ribosomes produce proteins using RNA.

Question 8

What is an organelle?

Answer 8

In Celluar Biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function.
