Biology Cells Quiz R
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Nucleaus | Membrane enclosed structure in a cell that holds the cells genetic material(DNA); directs cell's activities |
| Nuclear Envelope | Membrane composed of thousands of pores that surround the nucleus |
| Nucleolus | Small, dense region within the nucleus where ribosomes are produced |
| Cell Membrane | Liquid bi-layer membrane that surrounds the cell |
| Ctyoplasm | Material inside of the cell membrane but not the nucleus |
| Mitochondria | Converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | Membrane where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled; lacks ribosomes |
| Ribosome | Protein factories of the cell; found free-floating or attached to the endoplasmic riticulum |
| Rough endoplasmic reticulum | Membrane with ribosomes for making proteins |
| Golgi Apparatus | Modifies/packages molecule for export out of cell; it is near the cell membrane |
| Lysosome | Contains enzymes for digesting or recycling molecules |
| Centrioles | Two tiny structures in cytoplasm near nuclear envelope; used in cell division |
| Vacuole | Storage units of cells; very large in plants for holding water |
| Chloroplasts | Captures energy from the sun and converts it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis |
| Cell Wall | Stiff fibers of cellulose; support and protect the plant |
