20
Q

Nuclear membrane

A

Double membrane that is semi permeable

21
Q

How is the nuclear membrane semi permeable

22
Q

The most numerous of organelles

23
Q

Function of ribosomes

A

Making proteins

24
Ribosomes can exist in two ways
- Free floating in the cytoplasm | - Attached to the ER
25
System of membranes forming folded sacs and tunnels
Endoplasmic reticulum
26
Two types of ER
Rough | Smooth
27
What is rough ER responsible for
Protein production
28
What is smooth ER responsible for
Produces lipids and area of detoxifying for the cell
29
Stack of membranes filled with fluid and dissolved substance
Golgi complex
30
What does the Golgi complex do
Processes, packages, and secreting organelle
31
Powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
32
Where do mitochondria get power from
The process of cellular respiration in the form of ATP
33
Two layers of mitochondria
Smooth, outer layer | Highly folded, inner layer cristae
34
Mitochondria contains its own
DNA
35
Small spherical organelles that contain digestive enzymes
Lysosomes
36
Lysosomes function
Digest food particles, disease-causing bacteria, and worn out and broken parts of the cell
37
Liquid-filled space that stores food, water, and minerals
Vacuoles
38
Function of vacuoles
Store waste until the cell is able to get rid of it
39
The vacuoles in animal cells are usually
Small
40
Thick outer layer covering the outside of the membrane in a plant cell
Cell wall
41
Cell wall is made of
Cellulose
42
Function of cell wall
Protects and supports the cells
43
Remains after the cell has died
Cell wall
44
Made up of the wall of dead cells
Wood
45
Cell part that constipation the green pigment chlorophyll
Chloroplasts
46
Function of chloroplasts
Traps energy from the sun and the plant use the energy to make food though photosynthesis
47
The order of the structure in multicellular organisms
Cell-tissue-organ-organ system-organism
