Organelles

Question 1

Nucleus

Answer 1

• Cell replication and repair
• Usually one per cell, except for red blood cells (none) and muscle cells (multinucleated)

Question 2

Ribosomes

Answer 2

• Make proteins
• Either free within the cytosol of the cell or attached to another organelle
• Free ribosomes make proteins for the cell
• Attached ribosomes make proteins for export

Question 3

Smoot Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 3

• Calcium storage
• Detoxification
• Steroid production in the ovaries and testes

Question 4

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 4

• Many ribosomes attached
• Makes new organelles
• Protein production for export

Question 5

Golgi Complex

Answer 5

Packages proteins for export into vesicles that can leave the cell

Question 6

Peroxisome

Answer 6

• Filled with enzymes that oxidize harmful peroxides

Question 7

Lysosomes

Answer 7

• Perform Digestion for the cell

Question 8

Proteosome

Answer 8

• Digests proteins

Question 9

Cytoskeleton

Answer 9

“Muscle and bone” of the cell

Question 10

Cilia and Flagella

Answer 10

• Cilia have directional movement that propels the cell or an object outside of it
• Flagella will propel the cell in a random direction using whip like movements

Question 11

Mitochondria

Answer 11

• Produce ATP for the cell during aerobic metabolism
• TCA cycle and ETC

Question 12

Cellular Diversity

Answer 12

Each cell will have a different number of each organelle based on its function
- Each cell type will look completely different
