Cell Organelles

Question 1

Nonmembranous organelles

Answer 1

Not completely enclosed by membranes and all components are in direct contact with cytosol

Question 2

Membranous organelles

Answer 2

Isolated from cytosol by phospholipid membranes

Question 3

Cytoskeleton

Answer 3

Strength and support, movement of cell structures and materials via a “sidewalk system”

Question 4

Microvilli

Answer 4

Small, fingerlike extensions of the exposed plasma membrane of an epithelial cell. Meant to increase surface area for absorbing materials.

Question 5

Centriole

Answer 5

Essential for movement of chromosomes in cell division, organization, and microtubules in the cytoskeleton.

Question 6

Flagella

Answer 6

Tail of the cell to move the cell. Only cell in humans is sperm.

Question 7

Cilium

Answer 7

Small, hair like structures that help in movement of a particle near the membranes outer surface

The Golgi Apparatus

Answer 11

Storage, modification, and packaging of proteins/ makes vesicles

Question 12

Lysosomes

Answer 12

Intercellular removal of damaged organelles or pathogens.

Absorb and break down hydrogen peroxide.

Question 14

Mitochondria

Answer 14

Produces energy

Question 15

Nucleus

Answer 15

Contains DNA, RNA, proteins, control center of cell.

Question 16
