Parts of A Cell

Question 1

Cytosol

Answer 1

The fluid part of a cell.

Question 2

Lysosome

Answer 2

Contains hydrolytic enzymes. Breaks down excess or worn-out cell parts.

Question 3

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Answer 3

Transport System of a cell. (RER - Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum) or (SER - Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum).

Question 4

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)

Answer 4

Responsible for synthesising phospholipids and cholesterol.

Question 5

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)

Answer 5

Has Ribosomes attached. Responsible for synthesising and exporting proteins and glycoproteins.

Question 6

Nucleus

Answer 6

The central part of a cell. Contains DNA and is responsible for what a cell does and how it does it.

Question 7

Golgi Complex

Answer 7

Helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported.

Question 8

Ribosomes

Answer 8

Start in the nucleus. Either attach to Endoplasmic Reticulum or float freely in Cytosal. Responsible for synthesising protein.

Question 9

Cell membrane

Answer 9

Outside part of cell. Separates contents of cell from external environment.

Question 10

Mitochondria

Answer 10

Synthesises ATP. Generates the chemical energy needed to power the cell.
