Parts of cells and functions

Question 1

Function of cell membrane

Answer 1

Regulates the masses of materials in and out of cell; separates the internal chemical reactions of the cell from external environment

Question 2

Function of nucleus

Answer 2

Controls the reproduction and activities of cell; carrier of genetic information

Question 3

Function of ribosomes

Answer 3

Create protiens

Question 4

Difference from chromatin and chromosomes

Answer 4

When the cell isn’t divided, the DNA is called chromatin. When the cell is dividing, the chromatin becomes chromosomes

Question 5

Function of the nucleolus

Answer 5

Manufactures the subunits that make up ribosomes

Question 6

What is Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 6

Known as the internal membrane system of the cell, and provides a path for molecules to move from one part of the cell to another.

Question 7

Difference from rough ER and smooth ER

Answer 7

rough ER allows ribosomes to attach, and is involved in the making of proteins, meanwhile smooth ER doesn’t have ribosomes, and instead makes lipids

Question 8

Function of the Golgi apparatus

Answer 8

Modifies and packages the proteins that arrive from the ER

Question 9

What are vesicles

Answer 9

Small spherical sacs that are classified by their contents.

Question 10

Function of lysosomes

Answer 10

Destroy old organelles that no longer carry out their function

Question 11

Function of peroxisomes

Answer 11

Break down alcohols and kill bacteria which produces hydrogen peroxide

Question 12

What is a vacuole

Answer 12

Storage area that may store water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates

Question 13

Function of the mitochondria

Answer 13

Cellular respiration, which is when it converts glucose or sugar molecules into a usable form of energy.

Question 14

What is cytoskeleton

Answer 14

Network of protein tubes and fibers that give cell shape

Question 15

2 types of fibers in cytoskeleton

Answer 15

Microfilaments and microtubules; microfilaments are solid and give support to cell and help cell move. Microtubules are hollow and maintain the cell shape and separate chromosomes and form cilia and flagella

Question 16

Function of centrioles

Answer 16

Organize the microtubules during cell division in order to form a frame work of separating chromosomes
