What is the role of ribosomes?
To store genetic information.
To produce glycolipids.
To synthesize proteins.
To hydrolyze waste materials.
Centrosome/Centrioles
creates energy (ATP) from food; site of cellular respiration
stores food, water, or wastes with the cell; plant cells have a special vacuole
uses enzymes to digest bacteria, viruses, and old organelles (old cell parts are recycled)
create special structures called spindle fibers that are used in cell division
Cytoskeleton
maintains homeostasis by controlling what enters and leaves the cell
suspends the organelles and provides an environment for chemical reactions within the cell
makes proteins
provides structure for cells and movement of organelles
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that is associated with defects in the CFTR protein found in the membrane. Which organelle synthesized the protein?
Golgi Bodies
Rough ER
Smooth ER
Lysosome
Small sacks with pores / Contains digestive hydrolytic enzymes that get rid of waste, worn-out cell parts, and captured invaders.
In plants, what is the primary function of vacuoles?
To maintain water pressure inside of the cell.
To remove waste from inside of the cell.
To store nutrients inside of the cell.
To synthesize new membranes for the cell.
Disarms dangerous free radicals by converting them to hydrogen peroxide; detoxifies harmful poisons and other substances
Mitochondria
Lysosome
Peroxisome
Centrioles
Ribosome
Central Vacuole
provides shape, structure, and protection for the cell
site of photosynthesis; uses the sun's energy to produce food
stores water in order to maintain plant shape (if a plant needs water, it wilts)
site of cellular respiration
Which of the following is a difference between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
Smooth ER exists in a part of the cell near the cell membrane, while rough ER exists in a part of the cell near the nucleus.
Smooth ER is not studded by ribosomes, while rough ER is studded by ribosomes.
Smooth ER is meant to compartmentalize the cell, while rough ER detoxifies and synthesizes lipids.
Smooth ER is made without the additional help of proteins, whereas rough ER is made with the help of special proteins called reticuloproteins.
A folded membrane that moves materials around inside cells / Also acts as the site of manufacturing proteins needed by the cell.
Mitochondrion
Stacks of pancake-like membranes that package materials to ship out of the cell.
Small sacks with pores / Contains digestive enzymes that get rid of waste, worn-out cell parts, and captured invaders.
Bean-shaped organelle filled with folded membranes / Breaks down glucose to release energy for cell functions
The protective outer layer that controls what enters and leaves the cell.
