The organelles and cytosol.

Question 5

What’s the name of the barrier that separates the nucleus from the cytosol?

Answer 5

Nuclear envelope.

Question 6

The DNA itself is wrapped around what two things?

Answer 6

Proteins known as histones entangled in a fibrous network called chromatin.

Question 7

The nucleus also homes this dark spot that manufactures ribosomes.

Answer 8

Manufactures proteins.

Question 9

The ribosomes can be located…

Answer 9

On the outside of the endoplasmic reticulum or freely in the cytoplasm.

Question 10

All ribosomes have two unequal subunits:

Answer 10

Proteins and RNA.

Question 11

Mitochondria serves what purpose?

Answer 11

Produces energy through a process called respiration.

Question 12

Mitochondria has how many membranes?

Answer 12

Two.

Question 13

What are the folds within mitochondria called?

Answer 13

Cristae.

Question 14

Where does the chemical reaction of respiration take place in mitochondria?

Answer 14

The region formed by the Cristae called the mitochondrial matrix.

Question 15

Endoplasmic reticulum serves what purpose?

Answer 15

Produce proteins.

Question 16

Proteins manufactured by the endoplasmic reticulum is transferred to what part of the cell?

Answer 16

The Golgi apparatus, where they will be exported from the cell.

Question 17

What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum?

Answer 17

Smooth and rough.

Question 18

What makes endoplasmic reticulum rough?

Answer 18

Ribosomes.

Question 19

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum serves what purpose?

Answer 19

Moves proteins around the cell and then packages them in to vesicles to be transported to the Golgi apparatus. Also functions in the synthesis of fat and lipids.

Question 20

The Golgi apparatus serves what purpose?

Answer 20

Packages proteins to be exported from the cell.

Question 21

Proteins enter the Golgi apparatus from…

Answer 21

The endoplasmic reticulum and proceed through the stacks where they are modified and stored before secretion.

Question 22

When proteins of the Golgi apparatus are ready for export…

Answer 22

Pieces of the Golgi bud off forming vesicles that send them to the cell membrane.

Question 23

Lysosomes are…

Answer 23

Packages of acidic enzymes that digest compounds and cellular components that the cell no longer needs.

Question 24

Plant cell organelles include:

Answer 24

Chloroplasts, vacuoles, and cell walls.

Question 25

Chloroplasts are:

Answer 25

The organelle in which photosynthesis takes place.

The green pigment that absorbs sunlight in chloroplasts is called…

Answer 26

Chlorophyll.

Question 27

Chloroplasts are built like what other organelle?

Answer 27

Mitochondria.

Question 28

Vacuoles are:

Answer 28

Large liquid filled containers in plants.
