Parts of a Cell

Question 1

Three Parts of the cell theory

Answer 1

1. All living things are made up of cells
2. They are the basic unit of structure and function in living things (smallest working building block)
3. New cells come from existing cells

Question 2

1. Have no nucleus 4. make up unicellular organisms
2. have no membrane bound organelles
3. Small, Simple -> 1st cells on earth 5. live anywhere even extreme places

Answer 2

Prokaryote

Question 3

1. Have nucleus 4. make up multicellular organisms
2. have many membrane bound organelles
3. larger- more complex 5. can live almost anywhere except extreme

Answer 3

Eukaryote

Question 4

semi- fluid, jelly-like substance that fills in all spaces in an organelle and suspends all other organelles

Answer 4

Cytoplasm

Question 5

surrounded by a double membrane and contains the cells DNA

Answer 5

Nucleus

Question 6

The double membrane surrounding the nucleus

Answer 6

nuclear envelope

Question 7

DNA is cut up into pieces called

Answer 7

chromatin

Question 8

with the help of RNA ___ make proteins (protein factory)

Answer 8

Ribosomes

Question 9

system of tubes and channels in the cytoplasm that makes lipid components of the cell membrane and modifies proteins for export from the cell

Answer 9

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 10

ER with ribosomes attached to it for easy modification of proteins

Answer 10

Rough ER

Question 11

ER without ribosomes attached

Answer 11

Smooth ER

Question 12

series of membrane sacs that modify, sort, and package proteins and other substances from ER for storage in cell or exocytosis

Answer 12

Golgi Apparatus

Question 13

small sac filled with enzymes that: breaks down carbs breaks down and recycles old organelles and if it ruptures it will kill the cell

Answer 13

Lysosome

Question 14

vesicle or sac for the storage of water, enzymes, salts, proteins, etc.

Answer 14

Vacuole

Question 15

double bound membrane organelle in which cellular respiration occurs - turns chem. energy in food into free energy - powerhouse of the cell

Answer 15

Mitochondria

Question 16

double membrane bound organelle that traps light energy and changes it to chem. (food) through photosynthesis

Answer 16

Chloroplast

Question 17

a network of very fine protein fibers in the cytoplasm organize and help give cells its shape - holds organelles in place and helps things move around the cell

Answer 17

Cytoskeleton

Question 18

thread like proteins that support the cells

Answer 18

Microfilaments

Question 19

hollow structures made of protein that helps cells keep its shape

Answer 19

Microtubules

Question 20

Whip like tail on some cells which use energy to move some cells

Answer 20

Flagella

Question 21

Small hairs that tend to cover the cells and move together in a whipping action to move the cell or materials along the cells

Answer 21

Cilia

Question 22

Thin flexible semi-permable phospholipid bilayer that the cell

Answer 22

Cell Membrane

Question 23

Surrounds certain cells and provides support and protection for them

Answer 23

Cell Wall
