Cell Structure

Question 1

Ribosomes

Answer 1

synthesize proteins from amino acids.

Question 2

Golgi apparatus

Answer 2

synthesize materials like proteins that are transported out of the cell. Near nucleus & consists of layers of membranes

Question 3

Vacuoles

Answer 3

Sacs used for storage, digestion, and waste removal. One large in plant cells/ Animal cells are small or have numerous

Question 4

Vesicle

Answer 4

Has membrane, & can move materials within the cell

Question 5

Cytoskeleton

Answer 5

Microtubules that shape and support the cell

Question 6

Microtubules

Answer 6

Part of cytoskeleton & help support cell. Made of protein

Question 7

Cytosol

Answer 7

Liquid material within the cell. Mostly water & had floating materials

Question 8

Cytoplasm

Answer 8

Cytosol & organelles found within the plasma membrane, not within nucleus!

Question 9

Cell membrane

Answer 9

Barrier that keeps materials out of cell. Determines what’s allowed in and out

Question 10

Rough Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 10

Ribosomes on the surface, produce & store proteins

Question 11

Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 11

Helps store lipids & proteins

Question 12

Mitochondrion

Answer 12

Generate ATP, involved in cell growth & death. Contain their own DNA aside from the one within the nucleus.

Question 13

Mitochondrion Functions

Answer 13

Produce energy, cell signaling, cellular differentiation, cell cycle & growth regulation. Can also have aerobic respiration.
