•structure: membrane bound circle-surrounded by envelope
-contains nucleolus

• function: control cell process and contains DNA
• animal and plant

Question 5

Nuclear envelope

Answer 5

• Location: surrounding the nucleus
• structure: double membrane dotted with thousands of nuclear pores
• function: controls flow of things in the nucleus into and out of the cell
• animal and plant

Question 6

Nucleolus

Answer 6

• Location: middle of nucleus
• structure: small and dense
• function: where ribosomes are made
• animal and plant

Question 7

Chromatin

Answer 7

• location: Floating in the nucleus or the cell
• structure: DNA bound to proteins
• function: genetic material
• all

Question 8

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 8

• location: in cell’s cytoplasm just outside the nucleus
• structure: interconnected tubes. Doesn’t contain any ribosomes.
• function: synthesis and transportation of lipids detoxifies substances
• animal and plant

Question 9

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 9

• location: in cell’s cytoplasm, just outside nucleus
• structure: interconnected tubes coated with ribosomes
• function: main site of protein synthesis and transportation
• plant and animal

Question 10

Ribosome

Answer 10

• location: all around the cell- on the rough ER
• structure: Tiny doing object
• function: site of protein synthesis
• all

Question 11

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 11

• Location: in cytoplasm, near ER
• Structure: flattened sac/tubes-can break off sections to move around cell
• function: sorts, modifies, and packages proteins for inside or outside the cell
• animal and plant

Question 12

Lysosomes

Answer 12

• location: throughout
