Cells

Question 1

Cytoplasm

Answer 1

Consists of specialized bodies called organelles which are suspended in a fluid matrix

Question 2

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 2

Consists of stacks of flattened sacs involved in the production of various materials

Question 3

Ribosomes

Answer 3

Carry out the process of producing protein

Question 4

Nucleus

Answer 4

Contains DNA, the hereditary information of the cell. Bounded by the nuclear membrane

Question 5

Nucleolus

Answer 5

Primary function is the creation of ribosome. Round structure within the nucleus of a cell

Question 6

Nuclear Membrane

Answer 6

Double membrane layer that separates the contents of the nucleus from the rest of the cell

Question 7

Golgi

Answer 7

Function to modify and package proteins and lipids into vesicles

Question 8

Vesicles

Answer 8

Small, spherically shaped sacs that bud from the end of the Golgi

Question 9

Mitochondrion

Answer 9

Powerhouse of the cell. Carry out aerobic respiration which is a process in which energy is obtained from carbohydrates

Question 10

Chloroplast

Answer 10

Found only in algal and plant cells. Used to produce energy through photosynthesis

Question 11

Flagella

Answer 11

Protrude from the cell membrane and make wave-like movements (ex: Sperm)

Question 12

________ separates internal metabolic events from the external environment.

Answer 12

Cell membrane, also known as, the plasma membrane

-This layer is semi-permeable – only small, uncharged, polar molecules can pass through (H20 and C02).

Question 13

___________ provide passageways through the membrane for water-soluble substances.

Answer 13

Channel proteins

Question 14

___________ initiate specific cell responses once hormones or other trigger molecules bind to them

Answer 14

Receptor Proteins

Question 15

What do Electron transfer proteins do?

Answer 15

move electrons from one molecule to another

Question 16

_______ spend energy (ATP) to transfer materials across the membrane

Answer 16

Transport proteins
