unit 1aos 1 organelles in a cell

Question 1

cell membrane

Answer 1

Cell membranes protect and organize cells

Question 2

cytoplasma

Answer 2

is the gel-like fluid inside the cell. It is the medium for chemical reaction. It provides a platform upon which other organelles can operate within the cell

Question 3

ribosome

Answer 3

the site of protein synthesis in the cell.

Question 4

nucleus

Answer 4

structure in a cell that contains the chromosomes to be passed down from one generation to another

Question 5

Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough and Smooth)

Answer 5

Rough endoplasmic reticulum processes proteins; smooth endoplasmic reticulum produces fat and breaks down toxins and wastes.

Question 6

Golgi apparatus

Answer 6

ransport, sorting and modification of both protein and lipid

Question 7

Mitochondria (Singular: Mitochondrion)

Answer 7

generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions.

Question 8

cell wall

Answer 8

provides tensile strength and protection

Question 9

chloroplast

Answer 9

a double membrane-bound organelle that contains flattened disk, fluid-filled sacs that are the site of photosynthesis. They also contain their own DNA and ribosomes.

Question 10

vacuole

Answer 10

To store food, waste and water for cells.

Question 11

glycolipid

Answer 11

lipids with carbohydrate chains that serve as cell recognition markers

Question 12

cytoskeleton filaments

Answer 12

long protein chains that help the cell hold its shape. organelles and other large molecules can travel along these chains like super highways in the cell

Question 13

membrane protein

Answer 13

portends that can send to nearby cells or receive signals from outside their cell. they can also serve as anchors for other proteins inside the cell

Question 14

cholesterol

Answer 14

a hydrophobic lipid molecule

Question 15

prokaryotic

Answer 15

a group of single-celled organisms with no nucleus and a circular loop of DNA. Bacteria and archaea are both prokaryotic

Question 16

eukaryotic

Answer 16

a group of single and multi-celled organisms with a nucleus and linear strands of DNA. Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are eukaryotic

Question 17

plasma membrane

Answer 17

the phospholipid bilayer and embedded proteins which separate the intracellular environment from the extracellular environment.
Also known as cell membrane

Question 18

cytosol

Answer 18

the aqueous fluid that surrounds the organelles inside a cell

Question 19

membrane-bound organelle

Answer 19

structure within a cell that is enclosed by a phospholipid bilayer

Question 20

lysosomes

Answer 20

A membrane-bound vesicle that contains digestive enzymes. It is responsible for breaking down cell waste and toxins, acting like a garbage disposal.

Question 21

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 21

a membraneous chain of connected and flattened sacs that are not coated with ribosomes. Its responsible for the production of lipids in a cell.

Question 22

Answer 22

• cellulose, cell wall
  -large vacuole
  -plasmodesma
  -chloroplast
  -chloroplast

Question 23

what cells are in animal cells that aren’t in plant cells

Answer 23

-centrosome
-lysosome
