45
The nucleus controls the

46
The nucleus directs protein synthesis by

49
Ribosomes are not membrane bound organelles and are composed of

50
What are all proteins of the cell made by
Ribosomes
51
Ribosomes are the site of
Protein synthesis
52
What is the endoplasmic reticulum known as
The internal membrane system of the cell
53
The endoplasmic reticulum accounts for more than half the total membrane in a cell because of
The membranes of the system being so extensive
54
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions as
“Intracellular highway” that provides a path along which molecules move form one part of the cell to another
55
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum covered with
Attached ribosomes
56
a rough endoplasmic reticulum covered with attached ribosomes is involved in the making of
Proteins while newly made proteins leave the ribosome and are inserted into spaces of the endoplasmic reticulum where they are modifies and shaped into functioning proteins
57
What does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum lack
Ribosomes
58
What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
To make lipids that will be used in membranes
59
Where are proteins produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum transferred to
The Golgi apparatus
60
What does the Golgi apparatus look like
A stack of loosely connected membranes
61
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus
To modify, sort, sort and package the proteins that have arrived from the endoplasmic reticulum
62
What happens to the proteins modified by the Golgi apparatus
These proteins will either be stored inside the cell or be secreted to the outside of the cell
63
The Golgi apparatus completes the modification on proteins before they are
Shipped off to their final destination
64
What are vesicles

65
How are vesicles classified
According to their contents
66
Types of vesicles

Golgi apparatus
69
The Golgi apparatus completes modifications on
Proteins
70
Functional proteins are packaged in
Vesicles and leave the Golgi apparatus
71
Vesicles souse with the cell membrane to release
The newly formed proteins to the outside of the cell
72
Where do vesicle containing enzymes remain
Inside the cell as lysosomes
73
Where do lysosomes come from
The golgi apparatus and are filled with very strong digestive system
74
Digestive enzymes are used to break down
Large molecules of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids into smaller molecules.
75
The enzymes recycle the cells own organic materials, breaking them down into their building blocks, and returning them to the
Cytoplasm to be used again
76
What are lysosomes responsible for
Destroying old organelles that can no longer carry out their function
77
What do lysosomes do to help the cell
They help “clean up” or destroy any debris that might build up inside the cell
78
Why are lysosomes ur rounded by a thick membrane
To keep the enzymes from releasing from the cell or else the cell would be destroyed
79
What do peroxisomes contain that are not produced by the Golgi apparatus
Different enzymes
80
Peroxisomes break down
Alcohols and kill bacteria, producing hydrogen peroxide as a result which peroxisomes convert to water and glucose because hydrogen peroxide is toxic to cells
81
Peroxides also breaks down fatty acids which
