Cell functions
These flashcards will help you memorize the parts of a cell, functions, etc.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the function of the Nucleus? | The nucleus controls most of the processes in the cell and is surrounded by a nuclear membrane that keeps it separated from the rest of the cell. contains DNA. |
| What is the function of the mitochondria? | The mitochondria uses chemical energy from food molecules to make "high energy compounds" for the cell through the process of cellular respiration. |
| What is the function of rough endoplasmic reticulum? | responsible for much of a cell's protein production and helps to package and transport proteins. |
| What is the function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum? | responsible for other biological processes, such as making and storing lipids. |
| What is the function of a ribosome? | helps to build proteins through a process called protein synthesis. from peptide bonds between amino acids in order to make proteins. |
| What is the function of the golgi body? | helps to package and distribute proteins and lipids in the cell(manufacturing, packaging and shipping centers for cells). |
| What are the functions of the vesicles? | sac-like structures that store and transport cellular products. |
| What is the function of the lysosome? | store digestive enzymes used for intracellular digestion(breaking down of lipids, carbs., proteins, removes wastes, and removes worn out organelles or to engulf viruses or bacteria. |
| What is the function of a vacuole? | stores water, salts, wastes, etc. |
| What is the function of the microtubules? | helps support and shape the cell(makes up the cytoskeleton and a part of cell motility). |
| What is the function of the micrfilaments? | provides cell with support and shape. |
| What is the function of a chloroplast? | possess their own DNA and contains chlorophyll(used to convert light energy into chemical energy for later use). Is a part of photosynthesis. |
| What is the function of the cytoskeleton? | helps move materials in and out of cell, gives cell its shape, offers support, and is an internal support system in cytoskeleton. |
| What is the function of the centrioles? | is important in animal cell division in forming the apparatus and cleavage furrow. |
| What is the function of the nucleolus? | area where ribosomes are produced before they move through the nuclear pores and into the cytoplasm |
| What is the function of the chromosomes? | The DNA on chromosomes carries DNA and controls the hereditary transfer. Essential for cell division, replication, and creation of daughter cells. |
| What is the function of the nuclear membrane? | surrounds the fluid portion of the nucleus and contains pores that allow certain things, such as ribosomes and ons to leave the nucleus. |
| What is the function of the cell wall? | helps provide extra shape and support for cell, allows stems of plants to stand upright, and protects plant cells from expanding under pressure. |
| What is the function of the cell membrane? | surrounds and protects cytoplasm ad its contents, controls what enters and exits the cells phospholipid bilayer |
| What is the function of the cytosol? | jelly-like fluid that fills the space between the nucleus and the cell membrane; where most of the cell's metabolic processes occur. |
| How are the cytoskeleton, microtubules, and microfilaments connected? | all of them help give the cell its shape and provide support. Microtubules and microfilaments make up the cytoskeleton. |
| What is a prokaryotic cell? | simple cells that do not have a true nucleus; found in bacteria |
| What is an example of a prokaryotic cell? | E Coli. |
| List the parts of a typical prokaryotic cell? | cell membrane, flagellum, nucleoid region, cytoplasm, cell wall, ribosomes |
| What do all cells have in common?(parts) | cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA. |
| What is a eukaryotic cell? | Cells that have a true nucleus and make up organisms other than bacteria. |
| What is an example of a eukaryotic cell? | plant cell |
| What organelles are present in a plant cell but not in an animal cell? | cell wall and chloroplasts |
| How many cells does archaebacteria contain? | 1 |
| How many cells does eubacteria contain? | 1 |
| How many cells does protista contain? | 1 or more |
| How many cells does plantae contain? | more than 1 |
| How many cells does animalia contain? | more than 1 |
| Which kingdoms have a cell wall? | archaebacteria, fungi, and plantae |
| Which kingdoms don't have a cell wall? | animalia, protista, eubacteria |
| Which kingdoms are autotrophs? | archaebacteria, and plantae |
| Which kingdoms are heterotrophs? | animalia, fungi, protista, and eubacteria |
| Which kingdoms contain a nucleus? | protista, fungi, plantae, animalia |
| Which kingdoms don't contain a nucleus? | eubacteria and archaebacteria |
| Which kingdoms reproduce asexually? | archaebacteria, eubacteria, protista(mostly), fungi, plantae, and animalia(sometimes) |
| Which kingdoms can reproduce sexually? | fungi, plantae, and animalia(most) |
| What are three methods unicellular organisms can use to move? | Cilia(paramecia), flagellum(euglena), and pseudopods(amoeba) |
| What parts does a plant cell contain? | cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts, cell membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, nucleolus, ribosomes, ER, and golgi bodies |
| What parts does and animal cell contain? | cell membrane, mitochondria ribosomes, nucleus, nucleolus, ER, golgi bodies, centrioles, and lysosomes. |
| What parts does a bacterial cell contain? | cell membrane, nucleoid region, flagellum, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and cell wall. |
