Parts Of A Cell(s)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cellular Membrane | Gives the cell structure. Controls what passes through the cell. All cells have this. |
| DNA | Possibly the most important thing in the cell. Defines what a living organism is. |
| Nucleus | Membrane around the DNA only found in eukaryotes. |
| Eukaryote | Has Nucleus. |
| Prokaryote | Has No Nucleus. Bacteria & Archaea. |
| Ribosomes | They are the site of protein synthesis. They receive instructions from the DNA in the form of mRNA and produce proteins. |
| Cytosol | Fluid inside the cell. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | Transports proteins. |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Where Ribosomes have been attached to the ER. Allows creation of proteins that go into the ER and transported to or through the cell membrane. |
| Golgi Bodies | Allows proteins in the ER to exit, taking a little of the Golgi Body membrane with it. The proteins can then go into or through the cell membrane. |
| Lysosome | Animal Cell Only. Breaks down waste. Vacuoles in plants do the same general function. |
| Mitochondria | Produces energy. Have their own DNA. |
| Chloroplast | Turn light into energy - photosynthesis. Has it's own DNA. Plant cells only. |
| Cell Wall | Non-Animals |
| What the cell membrane is mostly made up of. | Lipids |
| The type of lipid (mostly) found in the cell membrane | phospholipids |
| The meshlike network of microscopic protein fibers that supports the shape of the cell is called the... | Cytoskeleton |
| Antibiotics that disrupt the ribosomes in bacteria, prevent bacteria from... | Making DNA and RNA |
| To observe a nucleus better, which stain would work best? | Methylene Blue |
