Cell Project

Question 1

Nucleus

Answer 1

COntains DNA and RNA- controls protein synthesis

Question 2

Chromatin

Answer 2

DNA plus a special protein called histones

Question 3

Chromosomes

Answer 3

Looks like an X, condensed Chromatin

Question 4

Nucleolus

Answer 4

RNA is manufactored here

Question 5

Nuclear Envolope

Answer 5

made of a lipid bilayer, surrounds nucleus and keeps DNA safe inside

Question 6

smooth Endoplasmic REticulum(4)

Answer 6

does not have ribosomes…Function is the synthesis of lipids, phospholipids, and steroids, detoxifies dangerous chemicals for liver, stores calcium

Question 7

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 7

has ribosomes. modifies proteins by adding sugars to it (to make it a glycoprotein) then the molecule is put into a transport vesicle

Question 8

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 8

warehhouse and finishing factory. Any final modifications are go to glycoproteins before being shipped out of the cell

Question 9

Ribosomes

Answer 9

found in Cytoplasm and rough ER…makes proteins and recieves instrcutions from nucleus …decode the RNA and make the protein

Question 10

Lysosomes

Answer 10

memnrane bound, contain strong chemicals that are released when a cell is worn out and needs to be destroyed

Question 11

Peroxisome

Answer 11

hold hydrogen peroxide

Question 12

Vacuoles

Answer 12

storage, usually larger in plants than it is in animals(vesicle)

Question 13

Mitochondria

Answer 13

power house of the cell. where cellular respiration occur
glucose comes here to get broken down to give cell energy
has a mitochondrial disease

Question 14

Chloroplast

Answer 14

where photosyntheisis happens in plants

Question 15

Cytopasm

Answer 15

gives the cell its shape, aids in movement, transmits signals from inside cell to outside

Question 16

microfilaments

Answer 16

solid

Question 17

microtubules

Answer 17

hollow

Question 18

intermediate flaments

Answer 18

ropelike

Question 19

Cilia

Answer 19

tiny hair like projections that aid in cell movement

Question 20

flagella

Answer 20

tail-like aids in movement (sperm)

Question 21

Centrioles

Answer 21

found in pairs, near nucleus. aids in cell division or mitosis

Question 22

cell membrane

Answer 22

border around cell made of a lipid bilayer that controls what goes in and out of the cell

Question 23

cell wall

Answer 23

found only in plant cells and bacteria there for extra protection and support
