Answer 1

Nucleus, 
Nucleolus
Lysosomes 
Ribosomes 
Rough endoplasmic reticulum 
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum 
Mitochondria 
Golgi apparatus 
Cell membrane

Question 2

List the organelles of a plant cell

Answer 2

Nucleus
Nucleolus
Mitochondria 
Cytoplasm 
Vacuole 
Cell wall 
Rough endoplasmic reticulum 
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum 
Golgi complex 
Ribosomes 
Chloroplast

Question 3

List some of the differences between an animal cell and a plant cells organelles

Answer 3

Cell wall (plant)
Chloroplast (plant)
Large centre vacuoles (plant)

Question 4

State the function of the Nucleus and the Nucleolus

Answer 4

Nucleus: contains DNA (which is inherited) controls the activities of the cell

Nucleolus: rewrites ribosomal RNA and combines it with proteins

Question 5

State the function of the surface membrane

Answer 5

To protect the cell from its surroundings and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells

Question 6

State the function of the mitochondria

Answer 6

To produce energy currency of the cell (ATP) and regulates cellular metabolism

Question 7

Describe the function of the chloroplast

Answer 7

Contains chlorophyll, works to convert light energy into sugar in the process called photosynthesis

Question 8

Describe the method of nutrition for an animal cell

Answer 8

Glycogen is the stored food in animals but animals must eat other food sources as they are unable to create their own food source. By doing this they gain chemical energy

Question 9

Describe the nutrition process of a plant cell

Answer 9

Starch is stored in plants as food. They are able to make their own energy by a process called photosynthesis

Question 10

List the organs in plants

Answer 10

Leaf, stem, root and reproductive structure

Question 11

List the organs in animals

Answer 11

Respiratory, circulatory, digestive (system) lungs, heart, liver, stomach
