Cell Structure/ Organelles

Question 1

Plasma Membrane( Cell membrane)

Answer 1

Maintains the wholeness of the cell and controls everything that goes into and out of the cell.

Question 2

Selective Permeable

Answer 2

Membrane that only allows select substances to enter the cell, while keeping others out.

Question 3

Permeable

Answer 3

Allow free passage of all substances into the cell.

Question 4

Nucleus

Answer 4

The control center of the cell.

Question 5

Chromatin

Answer 5

Located inside the nucleus. This is strands of the genetic material, DNA. This transforms into chromosomes.

Question 6

Nucleolus

Answer 6

Located inside the nucleus, this synthesis ribosomes.

Question 7

Ribosomes

Answer 7

assembles enzymes and proteins.

Question 8

Cytoplasm

Answer 8

clear, gelatinous fluid inside the cell.

Question 9

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 9

forms a transport system between the nucleus and cytoplasm( smooth and rough).

Question 10

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 10

packages protein molecules for secretion.

Question 11

Vacuoles

Answer 11

“Vesicles” are formed by the process of endocytosis. These store materials that have recently entered the cell.

Question 12

Lysosomes

Answer 12

are vacuoles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn out organelles.

Question 13

Mitochondria

Answer 13

These transform food molecules into a useable form of energy(ATP).

Question 14

Cytoskeleton

Answer 14

gives the cell support and provides a framework to aid in inner movements.

Question 15

Microtubules

Answer 15

are thin, hollow cylinders made of protein fibers.

Question 16

Microfilaments

Answer 16

are thick, solid protein fibers.

Question 17

Cilia

Answer 17

are many hairlike projections that move in a wavelike motion.
