Anatomy Of A Cell

Question 1

What is the plasma membrane?

Answer 1

It’s the outer shell of a cell

Question 2

What is cytoplasm?

Answer 2

Inside the membrane and contains everything BUT the nucleus.

Question 3

What are a cytoskeleton’s structure and function?

Answer 3

S-
A network of proteins that defines the shape of a cell

F-
Helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization

Question 4

What are a centriole’s structure and function?

Answer 4

S-
Centrioles come in pairs and is the area of the cell near the nucleus.
Each centriole is a short cylinder made of 9 triplets of parallel microtubules

F-
Help guide the movement and separation of chromosomes during cell division

Question 5

What are mitochondria’s structure and function?

Answer 5

S-
Tubular shaped structure

F-
Known as the powerhouse of the cell

Question 6

What are the Golgi apparatus’s structure and function?

Answer 6

S-
A set of membranous discs in the cytoplasm, usually between the plasma membrane.

F-
a factory in which proteins received from the ER is further packed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.

Question 7

What are the Lysosome’s structure and function?

Answer 7

S-
sphere-shaped sacs filled with hydrolytic enzymes

F-
the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest components of the cell itself.

Question 8

What are the Ribosome’s structure and function?

Answer 8

S-
Large enzymes made of polypeptides. Made of a large and small subunit, each containing ribosomal RNA and protein subunits

F-
site of protein synthesis in the cell

Question 9

What are the Rough ER structure and functions?

Answer 9

S-
series of convoluted flattened membrane sheets that arise near the nucleus and extend across the cytoplasm.
Contains ribosomes which make it Rough

F-
production, folding, quality control, and transportation of some proteins

Question 10

What are the Smooth ER structure and functions?

Answer 10

S-
tube-like structure

F-
synthesizes and transports lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids

Question 11

What are the Nucleus’s structure and function?

Answer 11

S-
a spherical-shaped organelle

F-
control of cell division and cell growth.
