DNA is wrapped around proteins forming as what in dividing cells ?
Chromosomes
30
Is the hereditary material of a cell.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
31
Makes ribosomes that make proteins. It disappears when the cell divides.
Nucleolus
32
Helps cell maintain cell shape and also helps organelles move around.
Cytoskeleton
33
Are thread like and made up of Actin
Microfilaments
34
Are tube like and made up of Tubulin.
Microtubules
35
Found only in animal cells, made of bundles of microtubules, appear during cell division forming mitotic spindle, help to pull chromosomes apart.
Centrioles
36
The power house of the cell./ Surrounded by a double membrane. Has its own DNA.
Mitochondrion

Mitochondria appear in what shape?
Rod shaped
41
What do mitochondria do?
Burns glucose to release energy (ATP)
42
This is a network of hollow membrane tubules./ Connects the nuclear envelope and cell membrane./ Functions in synthesis of cell products and transport.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
43
What are the 2 kinds of Er?
Rough ER and Smooth ER
44
Has ribosomes on its surface. Makes membrane proteins and proteins for export out of the cell.
Rough ER
45
_____ lacks ribosomes on its surface. It is attached to the end of rough er and makes cell products that are used inside the cell.
Smooth ER
46
Makes membrane lipids. (steroids)/ Regulates calcium./ Destroys toxic substances.
Smooth ER
47
Includes nuclear membrane connected to ER connected to cell membrane (Transport)
Endomembrane system
48
These are made up of proteins and rRNA. The protein factory of the cell.
Ribosomes
49
The process of amino acids to make proteins.
Protein Synthesis
50
Stacks of flattened sacs. It has a shipping side and a receiving side. It receives the proteins made by rough er. Has transport vesicles with modified protein pinch off the ends.
Golgi bodies/apparatus
51
It looks like stack of pancakes that modify, sort and package molecules from er for storage or transport out of the cells.
Golgi bodies/apparatus
52

True
56
A small membrane bound vesicle containing enzymes that break down fatty acids, amino acids and h2o2.
Peroxisome
