Cell Organelles

Question 1

Nucleolus

Answer 1

contain DNA that issues genetic instructions for synthesizing ribosomal RNA

Question 2

Nuclear Pore

Answer 2

allows small molecules to pass through the nuclear membrane to send signals in and out of the nucleus

Question 3

Nucleus

Answer 3

Contains DNA and regulates protein synthesis throughout the cell

Question 4

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 4

membrane factory; where integral proteins and phospholipids are formed for the creation of membranes

Question 5

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 5

metabolize lipids; synthesize cholesterol, steroid based hormones, trans fats (also absorbs)

Question 6

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 6

ships and receives proteins; modifies proteins and ships them where they need to be

Question 7

Mitochondria

Answer 7

breaks down sugar molecules into ATP

Question 8

Free Ribosome

Answer 8

makes soluble proteins for cytosol and mitochondria

Question 9

Membrane Bound Ribosome

Answer 9

Synthesizes proteins for cell membrane and lysosomes as well as export them from the cell

Question 10

Lysosome

Answer 10

recycle and destroy old cell parts and wastes

Question 11

Plasma Membrane

Answer 11

separates intercellular fluid compartment and extracellular fluid compartment

Question 12

Nuclear Membrane

Answer 12

maintains shape of the nucleus

Question 13

Centrosome

Answer 13

cell center; acts as microtubule organizing center; generates microtubules and organizes mitotic spindle fibers
