Q

What do all living organisms have in common

A

They all perform chemical reactions, evolve, respond to their environment, reproduce, share a common history, and maintain a stable internal environment in a process called homeostasis

22
Q

What separates internal chemical reactions of the cell from the external environment and is made up of mostly lipids and proteins

A

The cell membrane

23
Q

What is the nucleus filled with

24
Q

When the cell is not divided, what form is DNA in

25
When the cell is dividing, what form is the DNA in
Chromosomes
26
What manufactures the subunits that make up ribosomes
The nucleolus
27
What controls protein synthesis and the activities of the cell
The nucleus
28
What are all the proteins of cells made by
Ribosomes
29
What is the internal membrane system known as
The endoplasmic reticulum
30
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum covered with
Ribosomes
31
How many ribosomes does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum have
None, it’s used to make lipids
32
Where are the proteins produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum transported
The Golgi apparatus
33
What is the purpose of Golgi bodies
To modify, sort and package the proteins that have arrived from the endoplasmic reticulum
34
What are small spherical sacs that are surrounded by a single membrane
Vesicles
35
What bud from the golfing apparatus and are filled with very strong digestive enzymes
Lysosomes
36
What destroys old organelles, is surrounded by a thick membrane and also helps to destroy any debris that may build up inside the cell
Lysosomes
37
What breaks down alcohol, and kills bacteria, producing hydrogen peroxide as a result. They also break down fatty acids which can be used by mitochondria as an energy source
Peroxisomes
38
What stores water, salts, proteins and carbohydrates
Vacuoles
39
Who’s pourpose is cellular respiration, and has its own DNA and Carrie’s out replication
Mitochondria
40
What is a network of protein tubes and fibers that hells the cell to maintain its shape
The cytoskeleton
41
What are the two types of fibers found in the cytoskeleton
Microfilaments and microtubes
42
What helps cells to move
Microfilaments
43
What’s functions are maintaining cell shape, the separation of chromosomes during cell division, and the formation of cilia and flagella.
Microtubes
44
What organizes microtubes, and are shaped like two short cylinders found in the nuclear membrane
Centrioles
