26
Centrioles are made up of?
Microtubules
27
How many centrioles are in the cell?
Two
28
A membrane-bound cell organelle.
Vacuole
29
They help maintain homeostasis by maintaining acidity and turgidity.
Vacuole
30
Stores, separates, and serves as cell's transport system.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
30
Tubular network fused to nuclear membrane goes through cytoplasm onto cell membrane.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
31
Does smooth ER have ribosome?
No
32
Does rough ER have ribosome?
Yes
33
It serves as the protein production machinery for the cells.
Ribosomes
34
Most abundant in cells active in protein synthesis, such as pancreas and brain cells.
Ribosomes
35
Found near the nucleus and is composed of numerous flattened layers of sacs.
Golgi Apparatus
36
Responsible for the modification and trafficking of proteins to other organelles such as the lysosome.
Golgi Apparatus
37
The digestive organelle of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
38
These are diverse groups of organelles that are found in the cytoplasm of almost all cells.
Microbodies
38
Roughly spherical and bound by a single membrane.
Microbodies
39
It includes lysosomes and peroxisomes.
Microbodies
40
Contains a variety of enzymes, which primally functions to rid the cell of toxic substances, particularly, hydrogen peroxide.
Peroxisome
41
These organelles contain enzymes that convert hydrogen peroxide to water.

Lysosome
43
Who discovered lysosomes and peroxisomes?
Christian De Duve (Belgian Scientist)
44
Digestive organelle for proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
Lysosome
45
Transports undigested material to cell membrane for removal.
Lysosome
46
Suicide bags.
Lysosome

50
It appears as grayish body, spherical, elongated, or variously flatted of lobed.
Nucleus
51
It is surrounded by porous nuclear membrane and are filled with fluid nuclear sap in which chromosomes and one or more nucleoli float.
Nucleus
52
Functions as intermediates in protein synthesis.
Nucleoli
53
Thread-like structures located inside the nucleus. Passed down from parent to offspring.
Chromosome
54
These are made of protein and a single molecule of DNA.
Chromosome
55
DNA stands for?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
