Question 4

Cytoplasm

Answer 4

Intracellular environment which contains the organelles

Question 5

Organelles

Answer 5

Tiny structures responsible in performing metabolic activities

Question 6

Centriole

Answer 6

Creates centrosomes & basal bodies that produce cilia & flagella

House the centrioles. Produces spindle fibers

Question 8

Chloroplast

Answer 8

Contains chlorophyll- essential in the process of photosynthesis

Question 9

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Answer 9

Circulatory system of the cell

Question 10

Rough ER

Answer 10

Lined with ribosomes, for the distribution of proteins

Question 11

Smooth ER

Answer 11

For the transportation of carbohydrates and lipids

Question 12

Golgi Complex (Golgi Apparatus)

Answer 12

Packaging plant and Secretory vesicle of the cell.

Collects materials from diff organelles and disposed them off via secretory vesicles

Question 13

Lysosomes

Answer 13

“Suicide sacs”, creates lysozymes for digestion

Question 14

Mitochondria

Answer 14

Powerhouse of the cell.

Responsible in the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), as the energy source

Question 15

Ribosome

Answer 15

Spherical bodies for protein synthesis. Brings together amino acids to form particular proteins

For cell movement and cytokinesis

Question 18

Microtubules

Answer 18

Maintains cell shape, forms centrioles

Question 19

Intermediate Filaments

Answer 19

Provide strength and support

Question 20

Flagella and Cilia

Answer 20

For cell movement

Question 21

Vacuoles

Answer 21

For the storage of materials (nutrients, water, waste)

Question 22

Nucleus

Answer 22

“Brain of the cell”

Controls the hereditary characteristics of an organism, storage of hereditary material

Question 23

Nucleolus

Answer 23

For the production of ribosomea

Question 24

Nucleoplasm

Answer 24

Enclosed by a double membrane lining. Stores and synthesizes most of the human genome

Question 25

Nuclear Membrane

Answer 25

Barrier that physically protects the cell’s DNA from chemical reactions

Question 26

Chromosomes

Answer 26

Contains the basic genetic material, the DNA
