Organelles

Question 1

Two cell biologists were able to discover a new organelle and they named it because of it resembles the stripes of this animals. This is a membrane-less organelle that functions as a “safe space” for messenger RNAs to encode different proteins.

Answer 1

TIGER Domain

Polygonal or box-like in shape (Plant/Animal Cells)

Answer 9

Plant Cells

Question 10

Irregular to circular in shape (Plant/Animal)

Answer 10

Animal cells

Question 10

Irregular to circular in shape (Plant/Animal)

Answer 10

Animal cells

Question 11

Contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis (Plant/Animal cells)

Answer 11

Plant cells

Question 12

There are no chloroplasts (Plant/Animal Cells)

Answer 12

Animal Cells

Question 13

It has a large central vacuole (Plant/ Animal Cells)

Answer 13

Plant Cells

Question 14

The vacuoles are smaller in size (Plant/Animal cells)

Answer 14

Animal cells

Question 15

This is the jelly-like substance that is enclosed by the plasma membrane. Its purpose is to support and protect the internal structures – so it acts like a cushion to secure the organelles, and it also maintains the shape of the cell.

Answer 15

Cytoplasm

Question 16

Name the two major parts of the cytoplasm.

Answer 16

Cytosol and Cell organelles

Question 17

This major part of the cytoplasm is where the solution where everything is submerged in a cell

Answer 17

Cytosol

Question 18

Ths organelle is the largest and most prominent organelle in a eukaryotic cell. It has an average diameter of 5 micrometers

Answer 18

Nucleus

Question 19

Its usual shape is spherical or oval and it is enclosed by a double membraned nuclear envelope.

Answer 19

Nucleus

Question 20

This envelope is studded with these which serve as a passageway for RNAs during DNA replication. The diameter of these things ranges from 20 to 50 nanometers.

Answer 20

nuclear pores

Question 21

This is an extensive membranous network that is composed of tubules and flattened sacs called cisternae.

Answer 21

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 22

Endoplasmic Reticulum is an extensive membranous network that is composed of tubules and flattened sacs called these.

Answer 22

Cisternae

Question 23

The main function of this organelle is to collect the proteins synthesized by the ribosomes and then pack and store them temporarily before transporting them to the Golgi apparatus for secretion. It is named as such because it is studded with ribosomes on its surface

Answer 23

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 24

Endoplasmic Reticulum as such because it is studded with organelles on its surface

Answer 24

Ribosomes

Question 25

These do not contain ribosomes, hence the name. But instead, it contains enzymes that supports its function in synthesizing and transporting lipids, metabolizing carbohydrates, as well as detoxification of drugs and poisons.

Answer 25

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 26

This is a form of SER that serves as storage and release sites of calcium ions in muscle cells.

Answer 26

Sarcoplasmic Reticulum

Question 27

These are spherical granules that have a diameter size of about 20 to 25 nanometers. This organelle is composed of two units: a large one and a small one. They contain their own ribonucleic acid known as ribosomal RNA or rRNA.

Answer 27

Ribosomes

Question 28

We can find the ribosomes in these two places:

Answer 28

1. bound to the surface of an organelle
2. free floating in the cytosol.

Question 29

Just like the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus or Golgi body is also composed of flattened sacs referred to as this.

Answer 29

Cisternae

Question 30

In a mammalian cell, it can consist of 5 to 6 but in plant cells, it can reach up to 20 sacs or more

Answer 30

Cisternae

Question 31

This organelle is found in all eukaryotic cells, and it functions like a warehouse and packaging factory for macromolecules. It also receives, stores, modifies, finishes, sorts, and packages secretory proteins coming from the RER before it can be sent to other destinations.

Answer 31

Golgi Apparatus

Question 32

This organelle is found in all animal cells and certain plant cells. This is actually a membrane-bound sac that contains hydrolytic enzymes and highly acidic fluid that cells use to digest macromolecules.

Answer 32

Lysosomes

Question 33

This is made by the RER and Golgi apparatus, and it functions in aiding intracellular digestion, as a defense system, and recycling centers for damaged organelles.

Answer 33

Lysosome

Question 34

Apart from the nucleus, this is the most well-known organelle that has a default definition as the “powerhouse of the cell”

Answer 34

Mitochondria

Question 35

This organelle is a tiny rod structure located in the cytoplasm of almost all cells. Like the nucleus, it is enclosed in a double membrane where the inner membrane is folded to create these partitions called the cristae. Its main function is to provide energy for the activities of the cell.

Answer 35

Mitochondria

Question 36

Mitochondria is enclosed in a double membrane where the inner membrane is folded to create these partitions called this.

Answer 36

cristae.
