Q

What is the nucleolus?

A

Inside the nucleus
Makes RNA which make up ribosomes

18
Q

What are Ribosomes?

A

Made of proteins and RNA
Located in rough ER and floating in cytoplasm
They make proteins

19
Q

What is Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?

A

Has ribosomes on surface
Hugs the uncles
Makes portends
Packages portends for secretion
Rigid edges on model

20
Q

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

A

Has no ribosomes on surface
Attached to rough ER
Makes lipids (membrane)

21
Q

What is Golgi apparatus?

A

Folded membrane
Gets vesicles pf portend form the ER
Processes, sorts and ships proteins where needed

22
Q

What are versicles?

A

Mini- carts that transport proteins around the cell

23
Q

What are lysosomes?

A

ANIMAL CELLS ONLY
Contain enzymes
Speed up biochemical reactions
Breaks down dead stuff
Can do programmed cell death (apoptosis)

24
Q

What are vacuoles?

A

Small and numerous in plant cells
Their job is storage

25
What are centrioles?
ANIMAL CELLS ONLY Made of microtubules They appear during cell division Help cell divide by pulling chromosomes apart
26
What is Cilia?
Moves fluid across cells surface
27
What is flagella?
moves entire cell through extracellular fluid
28
What protects DNA?
The nucleus
29
What destroys harmful stubstances or worn-out cell parts?
Lysosomes
30
What is the large storage for water, food and wats ONLY IN PLANT CELLS?
Central vacuoles
31
Wha is made of two layers of phospholipids and controls what moves in and out of the cell?
Cell (plasma) membrane
32
What is where food is broken down during cell respiration so ATP can be release to be used by the cell?
Mitochondria
33
What makes lipids?
Smooth ER
34
What acts like a whip to move the entire cell?
Cilia and flagella
35
What make ribosomes?
Nucleolus
36
What processes proteins to be shipped?
Golgi apparatus
37
What is covered with ribosomes and surrounds the nucleus?
Rough ER
38
Where does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplast
39
What is made of micro tubules and helps the cell divide by pulling chromosomes apart?
Centrioles
40
What is made of cellulose in plants, chitin in fungi and peptidoglycan in bacteria?
Cell Wall
41
What transports proteins around the cell?
Vesicles
