14 Questions
What is the function of the cell membrane?
The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What is the role of proteins in the cell membrane?
Proteins embedded in the cell membrane help repair and build tissue.
What are eukaryotes?
Eukaryotes are plants, animals, and fungi cells with a nucleus.
What is the purpose of folding in a cell?
Folding increases the surface area of a cell.
What is the function of the nucleus?
The nucleus contains nucleic acids.
What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (E.R)?
The endoplasmic reticulum provides mechanical support and is made of the nuclear envelope.
What is the role of the smooth E.R?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes lipids and is used in detoxification.
What is the role of the rough E.R?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered in ribosomes, compartmentalizes the cell, and synthesizes proteins.
What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus?
The Golgi Apparatus is membrane-bound and transports and packages proteins, and modifies proteins.
What are lysosomes?
Lysosomes are membrane-bound sacs containing hydrolytic enzymes, used for digestion and waste disposal.
What are vacuoles?
Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs with various functions, specialized for water and nutrient storage in plants.
What is the function of mitochondria?
Mitochondria synthesizes ATP, has a double membrane, and is the site of the electron transport chain and Kreb's cycle.
What is the purpose of the cell wall?
The cell wall is an addition to the cell membrane, provides structural support, and is made of cellulose in plants.
What are chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis.
