Cells Pt 1

Question 1

Plant Cell

Answer 1

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms.

Question 2

Animal cell

Answer 2

a form of a eukaryotic cell that is distinct from plant cells in that it does not have a rigid cell wall

Question 3

Organelle

Answer 3

a tiny structure within a cell that performs a specific function for that cell

Question 4

Cell membrane

Answer 4

a biological membrane, also called the plasma membrane, that surrounds a cell and selectively controls which substances can enter or leave the cell

Question 5

Cell wall

Answer 5

a stiff structure that surrounds and protects a cell; found in plant, fungus, and some bacteria cells

Question 6

Cytoplasm

Answer 6

the liquid in the inside of a living cell

Question 7

Mitochondria

Answer 7

an organelle in eukaryotic cells that is the site of cellular respiration and generates most of the cell’s ATP

Question 8

Golgi apparatus

Answer 8

a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.

Question 9

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 9

a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

Question 10

Ribosomes

Answer 10

a minute particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins, found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. They bind messenger RNA and transfer RNA to synthesize polypeptides and proteins.
