Question 1

Organelles

Answer 1

Small structures that help carry out the day-to-day operations of the cell

Question 2

Ribosome

Answer 2

Organelles which participate in protein synthesis.

Question 3

Mitochondrion

Answer 3

The power plants of the cell, are organelles that produce energy.

Question 4

Lysosomes

Answer 4

Organelles that contain enzymes that aid in digestion

Question 5

Cell areas

Answer 5

Three main areas:
The cell membrane
The cytoplasm
The nucleus

Question 6

Cell(animal) types

Answer 6

Bone cell 
Muscle cell 
Nerve cell 
Cartilage cell 
Blood cell 
Small intestine cell

Question 7

Cell wall

Answer 7

Found primarily in plant cells and is a rigid structure found outside the membrane.

Is made of cellulose.

Provides structural support, protections, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.

Question 8

Cytoplasm

Answer 8

A jelly like substance
The material between the cell’s nucleus and the cell membrane
It fills the entire cell
It contains a large variety of organelles and nutrients
It stores nutrients

Question 9

Nucleus

Answer 9

The cell’s command center

Contains the cell’s DNA, the genetic code.

Question 10

Nuclear envelope

Answer 10

Also called nuclear membrane, found in both plant and animal cells.
Protects genetic material (DNA)
Protects the cell’s genetic material from the chemical reactions that take place outside the nucleus.
Contains many proteins that are used in organizing DNA and regulating genes

Question 11

Chromosomes

Answer 11

Carries genetic information in the form of genes
A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein
Found I. The nucleus

Question 12

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

Answer 12

In charge of manufacturing and packaging proteins
Works closely with the Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, and mRNA and tRNA
Many roles in the cell’s ER including calcium storage, protein synthesis and lipid metabolism

Question 13

Ribosome

Answer 13

Synthesizes proteins or protein builders

Can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the ER

Question 14

Chloroplast

Answer 14

Captures the Sun’s energy and is the site where photosynthesis takes place. Which provides energy for growth, development, and repair.

Question 15

Golgi Bodies ( Also called Golgi apparatus)

Answer 15

Modifies proteins and lipids
Process materials to be removed from the cell
Make secrete mucus
Packages products into vesicles for transport

Question 16

Mitochondria

Answer 16

Provides the energy for the cell. “Power House “ of the cell.

Question 17

Function of Vacuoles

Answer 17

It’s the storage structure in a cell.

It can hold food for later use or waste for removal.

Question 18

Lysosomes

Answer 18

Found only in animal cells.
Contains digestive enzymes.
Breaks down excess or worn out cell parts.
May destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
