A group of similar cells that perform a specific function

Question 6

Organ system

Answer 6

A group of organs that work together to perform a major function

Question 7

Nucleus

Answer 7

In cells, a large oval organelle that contains the cells genetic material in the form of DNA and controls many of the cells activities

Question 8

Cytoplasm

Answer 8

The thick fluid region of a cell located inside the cell membrane or between the cell membrane and nucleus

Question 9

Lysosome

Answer 9

• A cell organelle that breaks down food and wastes

- animal cells only

Question 10

Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 10

And organelle that forms the major passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another

Question 11

Chloroplast

Answer 11

• An organelle in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and changes it to an energy form that cells use in making food
• plant cells only

Question 12

Cell wall

Answer 12

• A rigid supporting layer that surrounds the cell of plants and some other organisms
• plant cells only

Question 13

Golgi apparatus

Answer 13

An organelle in the cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell

Question 14

Multicellular

Answer 14

Consisting of many cells

Question 15

Mitochondria

Answer 15

Rod shaped organelles that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions

Question 16

Cell membrane

Answer 16

A thin, flexible barrier that surrounds a cell and controls which substances pass into and out of a cell

Question 17

ER and GA relation

Answer 17

ER- Maze of passageways that produces many substances
GA- Packages materials to be sent or received
•ER produces substances and GA packages materials and sends/receives them around the cell
