Answer 11

nucleus

Question 12

This organelle is an intracellular highway composed of membranous sacs and tubules called cisternae.

Answer 12

rough and smooth er

Question 13

This organelle contains strong digestive enzymes to break down proteins, carbohydrates

Answer 13

lysosomes

Question 14

These are the most numerous of the cell’s organelles.

Answer 14

ribosome

Question 21

Newly made proteins are inserted into spaces of this organelle where they are modified and shaped into functioning proteins.

Answer 21

rough ER

Question 22

This organelle puts the “finishing touches” on proteins before they are shipped off to their final destinations.

Answer 22

golgi apparatus
