Cell Structures and Organelles

Question 1

Plasma membrane

Answer 1

The membrane surrounds the cell. It controls what can enter and leave the cell

Question 2

Cytoplasm

Answer 2

The “nutrient soup” of the cell as it contains material needed for many processes that take place inside the cell

Question 3

Nucleous

Answer 3

the structures in the cytoplasm where energy is produced from chemical reactions (where ribosomes are made)

Question 4

Nucleoplasm

Answer 4

Helps make DNA and messenger molecules

Question 5

Chromosomes

Answer 5

Complex DNA coated in protein. Helps regulate the cell process. Collects DNA

Question 6

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

Answer 6

May or may not have ribosomes. Helps with biochemical reactions

Question 7

Ribosomes

Answer 7

Where protein synthesis occurs

Question 8

Golgi apparatus

Answer 8

Packaging department of the cell

Question 9

Mitochondria

Answer 9

Produces energy (Powerhouse of the Cell)

Question 10

Chloroplasts

Answer 10

Only in plants, stores starch

Question 11

Vacuoles

Answer 11

a fluid-filled cavity in a cell that is used for storage and support

Question 12

Lysosomes

Answer 12

Digestive organelles of the cell. Helps dispose of intracellular bacteria

Question 13

Centrioles

Answer 13

Expansion of microtubes for cell division

Question 14

Cytoskeleton

Answer 14

Made of microtubes, helps eukaryotic cells move

Question 15

Eukariotic

Answer 15

cells that have a nucleus and sub-cellular organelles such as the mitochondria

Question 23

Characteristics of a Virus

Answer 23

1) No metabolism
2) Protein Coat which surrounds genetic material
3) Single or double DNA or RNA molecule
4) May contain an enzyme but can’t work without a host cell

Question 24

What is a virus

Answer 24

Cant be active outside of the host cell. Only exist inside virus particles called varions.

Question 25

Cilia/Flagela

Answer 25

Small-hair-like structures that some cells use for movement or sensing things.

Question 26

Cytosol

Answer 26

Everything inside the cell including the nucleus

Question 27

Vesicles

Answer 27

Transports in the cell

Question 28

Lipid Bilayer

Answer 28

Provides support for the cell, has two “subparts”

Question 29

Rough ER

Answer 29

Ribosomes attatched to the endoplasmic reticulum

Question 30

Smooth ER

Answer 30

No ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
