Term
What regulates what enters and leaves the cell and provides protection and support?
Definition
Cell membrane
Term
Which organelle would you expect to find in a plant cell but not a animal cell?
Definition
Chloroplast
Term
Which organelle makes food?
Definition
The Chloroplast
Term
Which organelles helps provide cell with energy and release energy?
Definition
Mitochondria and chlorplasts
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
Break up waste materials and cellular debris
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
act like a digestive system, takes in nutrients and breaks them down
Term
Ribosome
Definition
Protein builder, made from amino acid
Term
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Function?
Definition
The prime rough endoplasmic reticulum function is the production and processing of specific proteins at ribosomal sites that are later exported. The ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum do their job and create proteins which are then sent in to the rough endoplasmic reticulum for advanced processing.
Term
True or false?
Centrioles can be found in both animal and plant cells.
Definition
false
Term
Centriole function
Definition
Centrioles take part in several important functions like, organization of the microtubules and formation of cilia and flagella. It is also involved in determining the position of the nucleus.
Term
Function of cell membrane
Definition
Cell membrane or plasma membrane is one of the vital parts of a cell that encloses and protects the constituents of a cell. It separates the interior of a cell from outside environment.
Term
What are the 2 types of cells?
Definition
eukaryotic and prokaryotic.
Term
What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell?
Definition
The difference between the two types of cells lie in the fact that prokaryotic cells do not have nucleus
Term
examples of eukaryotic cells
Definition
plants,animals,fungi
Term
The endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
smooth endoplasmic reticulua synthesize lipids and steroids, metabolize carbohydrates and steroids, and regulate calcium concentration, drug detoxification, and attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins.
Term
The Golgi apparatus (also Golgi body or the Golgi complex)
Definition
The Golgi apparatus processes and packages macromolecules, such as proteins and lipids, after their synthesis and before they make their way to their destination; it is particularly important in the processing of proteins for secretion.
Term
The nuclear envelope
Definition
a double lipid bilayer that encloses the genetic material in eukaryotic cells. The nuclear envelope also serves as the physical barrier, separating the contents of the nucleus (DNA in particular) from the cytosol (cytoplasm).
Term
What cell feature is responsible for storing water?
Definition
vacuole
Term
Where in the cell does DNA replication take place?
Definition
nucleus
Term
What cell feature contains digestive enzymes which breaks things down?
Definition
lysosomes
Term
Which cell feature processes proteins?
Definition
golgi apparatus
Term
Vacuoles are tiny oval structures that store
Definition
food, water, or wastes.
