Site where cellular respiration happens.

Question 6

Lysosome

Answer 6

Site of digestion within the cell.

Question 7

Cytoplasm/Cytosol

Answer 7

Semi-fluid material surrounding organelles.

Question 8

Ribosomes

Answer 8

Site where proteins are synthesized (made).

Question 9

Nucleus

Answer 9

The control centre of the cell containing DNA (genetic information).

Question 10

Chloroplast

Answer 10

Site where photosynthesis happens.

Question 11

Cell/Plasma Membrane

Answer 11

The semi-fluid boundary that controls what passes in and out of the cell.

Question 12

Cell Wall

Answer 12

Provides rigidity to plant cells allowing turgor pressure to develop.

Question 13

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 13

Compartmentalizes the cytoplasm/cytosol. There are two (2) types: one with ribosomes (rough ER) & one without ribosomes (smooth ER).
