Q

Golgi apparatus function

A

packages and sends materials within the cell or outside the cell

17
Q

golgi apparatus parts

A

vesicles (tiny bubbles used to transport materials)

18
Q

lysosomes function

A

Contains digestive (acidic) enzymes
Helps in fighting disease
Breakdown and digests old/foreign material

19
Q

cytoskeleton functions

A

Holds cell structure
Transports materials

20
Q

cytoskeleton types

A

Microfilament (thinnest)
Microtubule (thickest)

21
Q

examples of cytoskeleton

A

cilia, flagella, centrioles

22
Q

cilia

A

small/numerous hair-like structures

23
Q

flagella

A

long/few tail-like structures used for movement

24
Q

centrioles

A

used for cell
division in animal cells

25
All the organelles above are in both plant and animal cells. Organelles only found in plant cells are:
Chloroplast Vacuole Cell wall
26
chloroplast function
Produces glucose for plants (photosynthesis)
27
semi-autonomous:
Contains its own DNA and ribosomes
28
chloroplast parts
Thylakoid (pancake) Granum (stack of pancakes) Stroma (syrup)
29
vacuole function
Stores water, food, amd wastes Can take up to 80% of cell’s volume (start off as several small vacuoles and later mature into one large vacuole)
30
cell wall function
Keeps out harmful substances Prevents cell from bursting
31
cell wall location
Outside the cell membrane of plant and bacteria cells
