Cell Structures

Question 1

Heterochromatin

Answer 1

Dense chromosome material- the gene activity is suppressed due to tight coiling

Question 2

Euchromatin

Answer 2

Less condense chromosome material - only stains strongly in cell division. These chromosomes are transcribed

Question 3

Zymogen Granules

Answer 3

Specialised storage organelles that allow sorting, packaging and regulation of digestive enzymes.

Question 4

Pinocytic vesicle

Answer 4

Transports fluid into cell- small particles are transported from extra cellular fluid forming an infolding. Particles are suspended in pinocytic vesicles

Question 5

Plasmalemma

Answer 5

Plasma membrane- usually when a cell wall is present

Question 6

Glycoalyx

Answer 6

Carbohydrate rich coating covering the outside of ukaryotic and prokaryotic cells- can be used in cell recognition. In bacterial cells provides a protective layer

Question 7

Intracisternal

Answer 7

Situated/administered by entering a cisterna

Question 8

Cisternae

Answer 8

Flatten disk membrane of the Golgi body- each Golgi may have 3- 20 cisternae

Question 9

Peroxisome

Answer 9

Found in cytoplasm contains catalase and some oxidises

Question 10

Glycogen inclusions

Answer 10

Store of glycogen usually found in liver or muscle cells
