Question 1

What is the structure of the Golgi Apparatus?

Answer 1

Folded membrane

The Golgi Apparatus consists of a series of flattened membrane-bound sacs.

Question 2

What is the job of the Golgi Apparatus?

Answer 2

Gets vesicles of protein from the ER, processes, and ships proteins where needed

The Golgi Apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Question 3

What are vesicles?

Answer 3

Mini-carts that transport proteins around the cell

Vesicles are membrane-bound sacs that carry materials within the cell.

Question 4

What is the structure of lysosomes?

Answer 4

Contain enzymes

Lysosomes are spherical vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes for digestion.

Question 5

What is the job of lysosomes?

Answer 5

Break down dead stuff (food, bacteria, old parts of cell, etc.) and can do programmed cell death (apoptosis)

Lysosomes play a key role in cellular cleanup and recycling.

Question 6

What is a characteristic of lysosomes?

Answer 6

Animal cells only

Lysosomes are primarily found in animal cells and are involved in digestive processes.

Question 7

What is the structure of vacuoles in animal cells?

Answer 7

One large vacuole and numerous smaller ones

Vacuoles in animal cells are generally smaller and more numerous compared to plant cells.

Question 8

What is the job of vacuoles?

Answer 8

Store water, nutrients, waste, etc.

Vacuoles help maintain cellular homeostasis by storing essential materials.

Question 9

What is the structure of centrioles?

Answer 9

Made of microtubules

Centrioles are cylindrical structures composed of microtubule triplets.

Question 10

What is the job of centrioles?

Answer 10

Help cell divide by pulling chromosomes apart

Centrioles are crucial for proper cell division during mitosis.

Question 11

What are cilia?

Answer 11

Shorter, more numerous projections that move like tiny oars

Cilia are involved in moving fluid across the cell surface.

Question 12

What is the difference between cilia and flagella?

Answer 12

Cilia are shorter and numerous, while flagella are longer and fewer (1-3)

Both structures are involved in movement but differ in size and number.

Question 13

What is the job of flagella?

Answer 13

Move the entire cell through extracellular fluid

Flagella are typically used for locomotion in single-celled organisms.

Question 14

Cilia and flagella are associated with which cellular structure?

Answer 14

Cytoskeleton

The cytoskeleton provides the structural framework that supports cilia and flagella.
