| What are ribosomes used for? | producing proteins from mRNA |
| What is the purpose of the Golgi Apparatus? | to modify and package proteins and lipids into vesicles. |
| Contractile Vacuole | used by protists(single celled orgamism) to remove excess water from themselves. |
| What is the main component of the plant cell wall? | polysaccharide cellulose |
| what is the cell(plasma) membrane consisted of? | phospholipids and proteins |
| why is the selectively permeable membrane important? | Because it could keep out taxic materials or keep good things inside the cell |
| what are channel proteins? and where are they located? | -Amino acids pushing everything else out of the way to make a hole.-plasma membrane |

| what does the cell cycle control system do? | checks the cells before they can divide |
| cyclin-dependent kinasses (Cdk) | -where kinases depends on the accumulation of cyclin in order to be activated to determine if the cell is able to divide.-part where cell can't divide because its too small and doesn't have machinery to make cyclin |
| what are the 3 checkpoints in the cell cycle control system? | G1 phaseG2 phaseM phase |
