Cell structure

Question 1

flagellum

Answer 1

tail-like projection for locomotion

Question 2

microvilli

Answer 2

finger-like projections on cell membrane, increase surface area of cell for increased rate of absorption/sectrion

Question 3

centriole

Answer 3

stacked in pairs near nucleus, functions to separate chromosomes in cell divison

Question 4

mitochondria

Answer 4

found in cytoplasm, creates energy (ATP) for intracellular activity

Question 5

lysosome

Answer 5

vesicles pinched off from Golgi body, organelles that function to digest unwanted material in cell

Question 6

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 6

does not contain ribosome, manufactures lipids, sent to Golgi body for secretion from cell

Question 7

rough endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 7

bound to ribosome, synthesises proteins, sent to Golgi body for secretion from cell

Question 8

cilia

Answer 8

hair-like extensions on membrane of some cells, moves material across surface

Question 9

secretory vesicle

Answer 9

on cell membrane, functions for absorption or secretion from cell

Question 10

nucleus

Answer 10

located within cell, controls cellular events, contains genetic information

Question 11

nuclear membrane

Answer 11

protects nucleus contents, controls what enters/exits nucleus through pores

Question 12

nucleolus

Answer 12

synthesises ribosomes

Question 13

ribosomes

Answer 13

synthesises proteins for intra/extracellular use

Question 14

golgi body

Answer 14

within cytoplasm, receives proteins and lipids RER and SER, packages up in secretory vesicles - sent to cell membrane for excretion, or synthesises lysosomes

Question 15

cell membrane

Answer 15

semi permeable structure, gives cell shape and protects, controls what enters/exits, communicates with external environment

Question 16

microfilament

Answer 16

creates cytoskeleton within cytosol in cytoplasm for structure
