Q

It is the outer limit of the cell which controls the passage of substance from the internal environment of the cell to the exterior and vice versa. Therefore, acts as a selective “gate keeper” of the cell.

Q

What are the inside of Cytoplasmic Organelles?

A

1.) Endoplasmic Reticulum
2.) Ribosomes
3.) Golgi bodies
4.) Lysosomes
5.) Mitochondria
6.) Centrioles
7.) Microtubules and Microfilaments

17
Q

It is a tubular network of membrane delimited structures.

A

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

18
Q

What are the two types of ER?

A

ROUGH ER and SMOOTH ER

19
Q

It is where the ribosomes are attached.

A

ROUGH ER

20
Q

It lacks of ribosome, concerned with fatty acids synthesis, glycogenesis and glycogenolysis.

A

SMOOTH ER

21
Q

It is a small dense particles associated with rough ER seat of protein synthesis.

A

RIBOSOMES

22
Q

It consist of a stack of several membranous saccules with associated vacuoles and vesicles; packaging of proteins and lipids.

A

GOLGI BODIES

23
Q

It is a membrane-delimited body containing a hydrolytic enzyme which plays an important role in digestion.

A

LYSOSOMES

24
Q

These are ovoid, granular, filamentous or sausage-shape bodies. Consider aa the chief center of celkular respiration ( power house of the cell).

A

MITOCHONDRIA

25
Q

It’s a hollow cylinders oriented at right angles to wach other. Important in establishing the poles of the animal cell during mitotic cell division.

A

CENTRIOLES

26
Q

These are non-membrane delimited structures often associated with oriented movement.

A

MICROTUBLES and MICROFILAMENTS

27
Q

It is a lifeless accumulation of substances ( ergastic substances) and are dispensable parts of a cell.

A

CYTOPLASMIC INCLUSIONS

28
Q

These are minute cavities having more fluid content than the rest of the cytoplas and sorrounded by a membrane called tonoplast.

A

VACUOLES

29
Q

It is a zymogen, fat, glycogen, protein granules.

A

GRANULES

30
Q

It is a carotenoids, hemoglobin, melanin.

A

PIGMENTS

31
Q

It is a solid inclusions which are rare in animal cells but mlre common in plant cells.

A

CRYSTALS

32
Q

The somatic cell has how much no. of chromosomes in adult stage?

A

46 Chromosomes

33
Q

The no. of chromosomes in adult stage in sex cell.

A

Egg and Sperm cells have just 23 chromosomes each.

34
Q

What cell division that is involve in a Somatic Cell when multiplying?

A

MITOSIS

35
Q

What cell division that is involve in a cell division in Sex Cell when multiplying?

A

MEIOSIS

36
Q

What is the importance or significance of a Somatic Cell?

A

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN ORGANISN AND REPAIR.

37
Q

What is the importance or significance of a Sex Cell?

A

REPRODUCTION
