What is the role of the Nucleus?
Nucleus is the brain of the cell. It contains genetic information.
T/F: Nuclear envelope has protein-lined pores that allow material to move in and out
True
Chromatin has two things, what are they?
DNA + associated proteins, contains the genetic information of the cell
Nucleolus is the condensed region where _________ are formed.
ribosomes
What is on rough ER but not smooth?
Ribosomes
The smooth ER ________ and makes ______
detoxifies, lipids

Microtubules, Centrosome, Intermediate microfilaments, Microfilaments
The _____ _______ surrounds an animal cell, separating the inside contents from the outside. This function is known as semi-_______
plasma membrane, permeable
What are the three D’s to the lysosome?
Defend, Destroy, Digest
Ah, when the cell eats something by letting it in then fusing the thing with a lysosome. What is the process called?
Phagocytosis
Name the two main things that Golgi Apparatuses do.
Modifies proteins (further), packages, sorts.
MITOCHONDRIA IS THE ________ __ ___ ____
POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL LMAO
What does the vacuole do?
Storage various things
The plants have a central vacuole filled with plant ___ that maintains pressure against cell wall (hint: Maple syrup!)
sap

photosynthesis, chlorophyll
Cell membrane is separated by a ___________ _______, which separates the inside contents from the outside.
phospholipid bilayer
Sort these from thin to thick: intermediate microfilaments, microtubules, microfilaments.
Microfilaments, intermediate microfilaments, microtubules
T/F: Cilia is longer than Flagella and less numbered.
False
What is the function of the endomembrane system?
To synthesize, package, and transport lipids and proteins.
T/F: the plasma membrane is included in the endomembrane system.
True
T/F: Peroxisomes detoxifies the cell, along with the smooth ER.
True
T/F: Animal cells sometimes have plasmodesmata and plastids in order to absorb more nutrients.
False. Plant cells have the two organelles.
T/F: Mitochondria has its own DNA.
True
Two organelles have their own DNA aside from the nucleus. What are they?
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts.
T/F: Mitochondria and chloroplasts are usually smaller than the size of a bacteria.
False. They are similar in size.
___________ means that host cells and bacteria formed a mutually beneficial relationship.
Endosymbiosis
What is the equation of photosynthesis?
CO2 + H20 (light/chlorophyll) -> sugars + oxygen
What is the equation of cellular respiration?
Sugars + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + ATP (energy)
