Cells

Question 1

Cell Membrane:

Answer 1

protects the cell and supports it, controls what enters and leaves the cell, it is a phospholipid bilayer also called plasma membrane

Question 2

Nucleus

Answer 2

controls most activity in the cell, contains DNA (coded instructions from producing molecules)

Question 3

Nucleolus

Answer 3

ribosomes are formed within nucleolus

Question 4

Cytoplasm

Answer 4

clear fluid within cell that contains organelles, moves materials throughout cell

Question 5

Ribosome

Answer 5

makes proteins in cell, proteins are vital for life, they are free to move in cytoplasm or on rough Endoplasmic reticulum

Question 6

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 6

cells that make saliva, package chemicals can be stored inside or move outside the cells; cell packaging plant

Question 7

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 7

series of folded membranes that form sacs or tubes

Question 8

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 8

detoxifies drugs, makes lipids, no ribosomes

Question 9

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 9

ribosomes attached, these ribosomes synthesis (make) proteins

Question 10

Lysosome

Answer 10

made by googols apparatus, full of digestive enzymes to digest unwanted particles, help white blood cells destroy bacteria; clean up crew

Question 11

Vacuoles

Answer 11

store food, water or waste material in plant cells- are very large

Question 12

Mitochondria

Answer 12

energy producers (powerhouse of cell), convert chemical energy to useable energy

Question 13

Cytoskeleton

Answer 13

can help cells move, overlapping network of filaments and fibres that support the cell and maintains it shape

Question 14

Centrioles

Answer 14

help to organise the cell during cell division, they migrate to either side of the cell and help pull it apart

Question 15

Flagellum

Answer 15

extension of the cytoskeleton
