Eukaryotic Cells

Question 1

what are eukaryotic cells?

Answer 1

eukaryotic cells are large, complex cells that contain membrane bound organelles such as mitochondrion and chloroplasts. They have a double membrane bound nucleus and contain multiple linear chromosomes.

Question 2

eukaryotic cells / cell wall (plants):

Answer 2

provide protection for the cell

Question 3

eukaryotic cells / cell membrane:

Answer 3

control entry/exit of substances

Question 4

eukaryotic cells / nucleus

Answer 4

stores genetic information for reproduction and making proteins

Question 5

eukaryotic cells / cytoplasm

Answer 5

contains dissolved solids in gel like liquid for chemical reactions

Question 6

eukaryotic cells / mitochondrion:

Answer 6

site of aerobic respiration

Question 7

eukaryotic cells / chloroplast:

Answer 7

site of photosynthesis - converts light energy into chemical energy

Question 8

eukaryotic cells / golji body:

Answer 8

packages proteins and moves them out/around the cell.

Question 9

eukaryotic cells / vesicles:

Answer 9

carry substances such as protein out/around the cell.

Question 10

eukaryotic cells / rough endoplasmic reticulum:

Answer 10

transport of substances, site of protein synthesis

Question 11

eukaryotic cells / ribosomes:

Answer 11

site of protein synthesis

Question 12

eukaryotic cells / smooth endoplasmic reticulum:

Answer 12

site of lipid (fat) synthesis

Question 13

eukaryotic cells / lysosomes:

Answer 13

break down of wastes or defective cell organelles

Question 14

what is an organelle?

Answer 14

an organelle is a specific structure within a cell that performs a specific function in order to ensure the cell can live productively and effectively.
