Cell Structure 1 Key Words

Question 1

Eukaryote

Answer 1

Multicellular organisms like animals plants and fungi or single-celled protoctista

Question 2

Prokaryote

Answer 2

single-celled prokaryotic organisms from the kingdom Prokaryotae

Question 3

Centriole

Answer 3

component of the cytoskeleton of most eukaryotic cells, composed of microtubules

Question 4

Peptidoglycan

Answer 4

constituent of the cell wall of prokaryotic cells (sometimes known as murein) which forms outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria.

Question 5

Ribosomes

Answer 5

The site of protein synthesis. They are constructed of RNA molecules made in the nucleolus of the cell.

Question 6

Lysosomes

Answer 6

Specialised vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes for the breakdown of waste materials within a cell

Question 7

Ultrastructure

Answer 7

the features of a cell that can be seen by using an electron microscope

Question 8

Resolution

Answer 8

The shortest distance between objects that can still be seen as separate objects.

Question 9

Exocytosis

Answer 9

The bulk transport of materials out of cells. Vesicles containing the material fuse with the cell-surface membrane and the contents are released to the outside of the cell.

Question 10

Golgi apparatus

Answer 10

organelle in most eukaryotic cells formed from an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs, or cisternae. They play a role in modifying and packaging proteins into vesicles
