C6 Cell Organelles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell membrane | Regulates transport of the substances into and out of the cell. |
| Cytoplasm | Provides an organized watery environment in which life functions take place by the activities of the organelles contained in the cytoplasm. |
| Nucleus | Serves as the “brain” for the control of the cell’s metabolic actIvities and cell division; has DNA and genes. |
| Nuclear membrane | Regulates transport of substances into and out of the nucleus |
| Nucleoplasm | A clear, semifluid medium that fills the spaces around the chromatin and the nucleodi. |
| Nucleolus | Functions as a site for RNA synthesis. |
| Ribosomes | Serve as sites for protein synthesis. |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | Provides passages through which transport of substances occurs in cytoplasm. |
| Mitochondria | Serve as sites of cellular respiration and energy production; the “powerhouse” of the cell. |
| Lysosomes | Serve as centers of cellular digestion. |
| Pinocytic vesicles | Transport large particles into a cell. |
| Centrosome | Contains two centrioles that are functional during animal cell division. |
| Centrioles | Provide spindle fibers for attaching chromosomes during cellular division. |
