Eukaryotic Cell Anatomy Review

Question 1

mitochondria

Answer 1

participate in cellular respiration and cell suicide

Question 2

Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 2

Rough ER (coated in ribosomes): a site of protein synthesis
Smooth ER (not coated in ribosomes): function is storage, lipid synthesis, and detoxification

Question 3

Golgi apparatus

Answer 3

where the proteins sent from the ER get sorted and sent to a membrane destination

Question 4

Nucleus and nucleolus

Answer 4

Nucleus stores genome, and in the nucleolus makes ribosomes
– functions: storage of the genome, site of transcription, and ribosome synthesis (production of ribosomes)

Question 5

Chloroplasts

Answer 5

do photosynthesis

Question 6

Vesicles, lysosomes, and peroxisomes

Answer 6

• vesicles function to move stuff around the cell
• lysosomes have hydrolytic enzymes and acids to destroy invaders, pathogens, and food particles
• paroxizomes: detoxify and oxidize fatty acids

Question 7

Cilia and flagella

Answer 7

involved in movement

Question 8

Ribosomes

Answer 8

make protein

Question 9

Cytoskeleton

Answer 9

provides structural stability and shape, as well as playing a role in movement

Question 10

Cell wall

Answer 10

protects what comes in and out of the cell, gives the cell some shape
