cell structures & function

Question 1

Plasma Membrane

Answer 1

-Cell Barrier: Separates what is inside from outside
-Membrane Transport: Anything that goes in & out of a cell
-Cell Identification: Identifies what type of cell it is

Question 2

Ribosomes

Answer 2

-Protein Synthesis: Building of protein

Question 3

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 3

-Protein and Glycoprotein (carbohydrate) synthesis
-Ribosomes are attached
-Makes a lot of protein

Question 4

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 4

-Lipid Synthesis (production)
-Stores calcium ions in muscle cells
-Detoxification by liver cells: the body produces toxic chemicals, and converts toxic into non-toxic
-Makes a lot of lipids

Question 5

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 5

-Modify Protein: Shifted from ribosome
-Package Protein: Puts them in a vesicle
-Lysosomes Synthesis: Produced in Golgi

Question 6

Lysosomes

Answer 6

-Made up of a membrane, inside are digestive enzymes
I-ntracellular Digestion: digestion inside the cell
-Autolysis: Digestion of the entire cell

Question 7

Mitochondrion

Answer 7

-Site most cell ATP Synthesis
-ATP = cell energy
-EX: muscle cells need ATP to contract

Question 8

Centrioles

Answer 8

-Involved in the movement of chromosomes during cell division
-EX: mitosis/miosis
-Always in a pair

Question 9

Cillia

Answer 9

-Move materials over the cell surface
-Little hair-like structures
-Not all cells have them

Question 10

Vesicles

Answer 10

-Membranous storage sacs
-Floats around
-May store carbs, lipids, waste, etc.

Question 11

Nucleus

Answer 11

-Stores most of the cell’s DNA
-Nucleolus is in Nucleus

Question 12

Nucleolus

Answer 12

-Site of ribosome synthesis
-Produces ribosomes
