Cell Structure

Question 1

Cytoplasm

Answer 1

Jelly-like material inside the cell, filling all the space between the nucleus and the cell membrane.

Question 2

Cytosol

Answer 2

The liquid medium of the system of cytoplasm.

Question 3

Nucleus

Answer 3

It is the place of DNA replication and transcription of mRNA

Question 4

Ribosomes

Answer 4

This is where amino acids are joined together to create proteins. They’ll either be floating freely in the cytoplasm or attach to various organelles.

Question 5

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Answer 5

Provides a surface for chemical reactions, while the channels are used for storing or transporting molecules.

Question 6

Rough ER

Answer 6

Has ribosomes attached on the outside surface, transports proteins, produces protein.

Question 7

Smooth ER

Answer 7

Has no ribosomes attached on the outside surface, transports proteins, doesn’t produce protein.

Question 8

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 8

Modifies proteins and packages them for secretion out of the cell in vesicles.

Question 9

Lysosomes

Answer 9

Contains digestive enzymes with the ability to break down large molecules and remove waste.

Question 10

Mitochondria

Answer 10

Chemical reactions with on the cristae, creating energy for the cell.

Question 11

Centrioles

Answer 11

Involved in the reproduction of the cell by separating chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis

Question 12

Cilia

Answer 12

Hairlike projections that extend from the plasma membrane and are used for locomotion.

Question 13

Flagella

Answer 13

Whiplike tails found in one-celled organisms to aid in movement

Question 14

Cytoskeleton

Answer 14

It is a framework of protein that gives the cell its shape and assists the cell in movement.
