Eukaryotic cell -Plant and Animal cells

Question 1

Plasma membrane

Answer 1

Provides a fixed environment inside the cell as well as protection for the cell. It can transport nutrients into the cell and toxic substances out.

Question 2

Cytoplasm

Answer 2

Acts as a buffer and protects the genetic material of the cell as well as the cellular organelles from damage caused by movement and collision of cells.

Question 3

Nucleus

Answer 3

Controls the activity of the cell as well as containing genes that contain hereditary information.

Question 4

Nucleolus

Answer 4

A dynamic membraneless structure with a primary function of ribosomal RNA synthesis and ribosomes biogenesis.

Question 5

Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 5

The rough ER is involved with quality control and dispatch of some proteins. Smooth ER is associated with lipid manufacture, metabolism, steroid and hormone production as well as detoxification function.

Question 6

Golgi apparatus

Answer 6

Responsible for transporting, modifying and packaging proteins and lipids.

Question 7

Vesicles

Answer 7

They store and transport materials within the cell.

Question 8

Lysosomes

Answer 8

Membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. They also break down excess or worn-out cell parts.

Question 9

80s Ribosomes

Answer 9

Large complex molecules that catalyzes the synthesis of proteins. They select aminoacylated transfer RNAs based on the sequences of protein-encoding.

Question 10

Mitochondria

Answer 10

Produce energy for the cells survival and functioning.

Question 11

Centriole

Answer 11

Produce cilia during interphase, aster and the spindle during cell division.
