Organelles

Question 1

organelle

Answer 1

a tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within a cell

Question 2

nucleus

Answer 2

stores DNA, double membrane, has nuclear envelop, attached to the ER through pores

Question 3

cell membrane

Answer 3

thin, flexible barrier around a cell, it regulates what enters and leaves the cell

Question 4

cytoplasm

Answer 4

everything outside the nucleus

Question 5

chloroplasts

Answer 5

organelles that capture energy from the sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell

Question 6

cell wall

Answer 6

In plant cells, this stiff wall surrounds the cell membrane, giving the cell a rigid, boxlike shape.

Question 7

ribosome

Answer 7

can be free or associated with RER, protein synthesis

Question 8

endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 8

the organelle that makes lipids, breaks down drugs and other substances, and packages proteins for the Golgi complex

Question 9

mitochondria

Answer 9

convert food to ATP, double membrane, has DNA and Ribosomes

Question 10

Golgi complex

Answer 10

packaging, sorting, and modifications of proteins

Question 11

vacuole

Answer 11

stores water in plant cells

Question 12

lysosome

Answer 12

the organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders, has digestive enzymes

Question 13

Difference between Rough ER and Smooth ER?

Answer 13

Rough ER has ribosomes while Smooth ER does not

Question 14

Nucleolus

Answer 14

Located inside the nucleus
Makes ribosomes

Question 15

Centriole

Answer 15

have microtubules that form spindles in cell division

Question 16

Cytoskeleton

Answer 16

Cellular organelle composed of microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments that provide structure and shape for a cell and help the cell move.

Question 17

thyloakoid

Answer 17

highly folded membrane in center of chloroplasts and is the site for photosynthetic electron chain

Question 18

chlorophyll

Answer 18

helps cells capture energy from sunlight, its green because it can not absorb green wavelengths

Question 19

Nuclear Envelope

Answer 19

cell structure, defines nucleus boundary

Question 20

DNA

Answer 20

stores and transmits genetic information

Question 21

RER

Answer 21

has ribosomes, protein synthesis

Question 22

SER

Answer 22

lipid synthesis

Question 23

Flagella

Answer 23

helps with swimming, long tails

Question 24

vesicles

Answer 24

transports everything from one thing to another

Question 25

cytosol

Answer 25

liquid portion of cytoplasm
