1. Cell activity
2. Genetic Material

Has a semi-permeable nuclear membrane

Question 4

Ribosomes

Answer 4

Assemble Proteins

Question 5

Rough ER
(Also what does ER stand for?)

Answer 5

ER: Endoplasmic reticulum

Process and fold Proteins: most proteins end up in cell membrane of outside the cell

Question 6

Smooth ER

Answer 6

Lipid synthesis
Detoxify - break down unwanted lipids

Question 7

Mitochondria

Answer 7

Cellular energy (the powerhouse of the cell)

create ATP

Question 8

Golgi apparatus
