the cell

Question 1

outer cell membrane

Answer 1

makes sure everything stays inside/outside, molecules and ions can move through it only in certain ways

Question 2

cell nucleus

Answer 2

contains DNA, genetic material, chromosones. building blocks for the proteins inside the cell

Question 3

rough endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 3

network of channels and sacs dotted with ribosomes. makes the proteins based on the dna in the nucleus

Question 4

ribosomes

Answer 4

small organelles that decided where proteins are formed and for what

Question 5

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 5

makes the lipids and other things that form the membrane around the cell and other organelles within the cell, produces fat and steroid hormones

Question 6

golgi apparatus

Answer 6

distribution centre, quality checks things produced in the reticulums before being transferred to the right place

Question 7

mitochondria

Answer 7

produces energy for the cell

Question 8

cytoskeleton / actin filaments

Answer 8

provides structure to the cell, grows inside extensions to make the stable, can change its structure

Question 9

how do actin filaments help immune response

Answer 9

helps the white blood cells move around

Question 10

micro tubuli

Answer 10

long tracks that allow for the rapid transport of molecules and organelles

Question 11

why are micro tubuli important

Answer 11

important for cells with long extensions when proteins have to be transported all the way to the other end
