Cell Structure

Question 1

Cell Membrane?

Answer 1

The external boundary of the cell that manages what goes in and out of the cell

Question 2

Cytoplasm

Answer 2

The water jelly-like contents of a cell where organelles are found in

Question 3

Cytoskeleton

Answer 3

The internal scaffolding of protein fibers within the cytoplasm of the cell

Question 4

Golgi Body

Answer 4

A structure made of a stack of flattened channels; it packages materials for secretion from the cell

Question 5

Lysosome

Answer 5

A small sphere formed from a Golgi Body; contains digestive enzymes

Question 6

Microfilament

Answer 6

Protein fibers that move materials around the cytoplasm or move the entire cell

Question 7

Microtubule

Answer 7

Fine tubes that help to maintain the shape of the cell and hold the organelles in place

Question 8

Mitochondria

Answer 8

A structure in the cytoplasm of a cell in which aerobic respiration occurs; powerhouse of the cell making Adenosine triphosphate

Question 9

Nuclear membrane

Answer 9

A membrane that separates the nucleus of a cell from the cytoplasm; has small pores to allow movement of RNA

Question 10

Nucleus

Answer 10

Centermost point of a cell that manages all cell activity and holds genetic material

Question 11

Nucleolus

Answer 11

An area inside the nucleus of a cell that is made up of RNA and proteins and is where ribosomes are made

Question 12

Ribosome

Answer 12

Site of protein synthesis; located on rER in eukaryotic cells and or free in the cytoplasm

Question 13

rER

Answer 13

A form of endoplasmic reticulum that is covered with ribosomes that give it a rough appearance; involved in protein synthesis

Question 14

sER

Answer 14

A form of endoplasmic reticulum that is involved in the synthesis of lipids; in not covered with ribosomes

Question 15

Lipid

Answer 15

Large organic molecules made up of fatty acids and glycerol

Question 16

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 16

a network of membranes forming channels through the cytoplasm of the cell; it is used for storage, support, synthesis and transport within the cell

Question 17

Cilia

Answer 17

Hair-like projections on the outside of a cell; they beat rhythmically to move the whole cell or to move material across the cell surface

Question 18

Flagella

Answer 18

A long projection from a cell; often has function of moving the cell

Question 19

Nuclear Pore

Answer 19

Gaps in the nuclear membrane

Question 20

Vesicle

Answer 20

A small sac formed by a membrane and filled with liquid. Vesicles inside cells move substances into or out of the cell.

Question 21

Vacuole

Answer 21

Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that act as storage space
