Biology Basics

Question 1

Contains DNA in form of chromosomes surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

Answer 1

Nucleus

Question 2

Isolates the processes within the nucleus from the processes in the cell itself. Boundary that controls what crosses.

Answer 2

Nuclear Membrane

Question 3

Inside nucleus, but role is to assemble the cell’s ribosomes.

Answer 3

Nucleolus

Question 4

Membrane-bound organelle within the cytoplasm (fluid like material in the cell). Generates most of the chemical energy used in biochemical reactors by cells. Contains RNA that is transferred only from the mother.

Answer 4

Mitochondria

Question 5

Organelle that serves as a transport system.

Answer 5

Golgi Apparatus

Question 6

Organelle that processes proteins and lipid molecules. Factory organelles of the system.

Answer 6

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Question 7

Type of ER with a surface studded with ribosomes and translates amino acids into proteins.

Answer 7

Rough ER

Question 8

Type of ER that releases transport vesicles that contain lipids and proteins, which are surrounded by cell membrane. Move through cytoplasm to cell membrane.

Answer 8

Smooth ER

Question 9

Membrane-bound organelles that contain cellular digestive enzymes.

Answer 9

Lysosome

Question 10

Particles made of RNA and protein that are critical for synthesizing/forming proteins.

Answer 10

Ribosomes
