Plant & Animal Cells

Question 1

What is a Cell Membrane?

Answer 1

All cells are surronded by it. It allows only certain substances to go in and out of it.

Question 2

What is a Nucleus?

Answer 2

DNA in all eukaryotic cells are found here. Protein sysnthesis takes places here which is controlled by the nucleus.

Question 3

What is RER (Rough ER)

Answer 3

Vast system of convulote sacks of membrane in cytoplasm.
Makes lipids, control calcium levels in muscles, detoxifes poision like alcholol, and more.
Protein made from it goes to golgi apparatus via vesicles.

Question 4

What is SER (Smooth ER)

Answer 4

Makes lipids exported by the cell. Also, controls calcium levels in muscles and detoxifes poison.

Question 5

What are Ribosomes?

Answer 5

Make protein, needed by all cells because all cells need protein. This process is called translation made ribosomes are made by the nuclelous.

Question 6

What is Mitochondria?

Answer 6

Large organelles, found in all eukaryotic cells. Sugar and oxygen are energy sources for it. Found in muscle and liver cells.

Question 7

What are Chloroplasts & Vacuoles?

Answer 7

Chloroplasts trap sunlight & start photosynthesis process
Vacuoles have large central ones that store water.

Question 8

What is a Cytoplasm?

Answer 8

Decides where chemical reactions happen aka support cell structure. (empty space in cell = cytoplasm)

Question 9

What is a lysosome?

Answer 9

Digests invaders of the cell

Question 10

What is a nucleoplasm?

Answer 10

Stores Fluid inside of nucleus

Question 11

What is a nucleolus?

Answer 11

Makes ribosomes
