Cell structure 3

Question 1

What is the Golgi apparatus?

Answer 1

a stack of flattened sacs called cisternae

Question 2

How is the Golgi apparatus formed?

Answer 2

a stack is being formed at one end from vesicles
they then bud of from the ER
and then broken down again at the other end

Question 3

What happens after the processing proteins from the RER?

Answer 3

transported in the Golgi vesicles to other parts of the cell

Question 4

What is secretion?

Answer 4

releasing molecules from cells

Question 5

What is a matrix?

Answer 5

finger-like cristae which project inside to form the matrix

Question 6

What’s the main function of mitochondria?

Answer 6

aeorbic respiration

Question 7

How is ATP formed?

Answer 7

released energy from sugars and fats

Question 8

where does respiration take place?

Answer 8

in the matrix and the inner membrane

Question 9

where are electron carriers found?

Answer 9

in the cristae

Question 10

Why does ATP spread easily?

Answer 10

soulble and small

Question 11

How is energy released from ATP

Answer 11

ATP is converted to ADP, this is called hydrolysis
