What is a ribosome?
It protects the interior of the cell from the outside environment.
What is a cell membrane?
A rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria.
What is a cell wall.
I store and protect the cell's DNA.
What is the nucleus?
The jelly-like substance that contains the cell's organelles, dissolved gasses, nutrients and proteins.
What is the cytoplasm?
The site of ribosome biogenesis.
What is the nucleolus?
This organelle fixes carbon to produce carbohydrates.
What is a chlorplast?
A type of cell that does not contain membrane bound organelles.
What is a prokaryote?
A membrane bound organelle containing hydrolytic enzymes in a low pH environment.
What is a lysosome?
These are made of two strands of polymers of actin.
What are microfilaments?
The largest organelle in the cell involved in protein and lipid synthesis, calcium regulation and interactions with other organelles.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
The function of the Golgi apparatus can be described like this.
What is the Golgi apparatus processes and sorts for transport proteins, lipids and carbohydrates to either lysosomes, the cell membrane or secretion?
These are protein structures that reinforce the cell shape and anchor organelles within the cell.
What are intermediate filaments?
The function of microtubules can be described like this.
What is they determine cell shape and aid in cell motility including cell locomotion, the intracellular transport of organelles, and the separation of chromosomes during mitosis?
The structure and function of centrosomes can be described like this.
What are regions near the nucleus that are composed of two centrioles arranged at right angles to each other and surrounded by a dense, highly structured mass of protein called the pericentriolar material (PCM)?
SPIN THE WHEEL
The cytoskeletal structure that forms the contractile ring which creates the cleavage furrow during mitosis and resulting in the division of the cell .
What is a microfilament (actin proteins)?
The 40S portion of the organelle that binds to mRNA during translation.
What is the ribosomal small subunit?
The structure and function of the nuclear lamina.
What is a fibrous network of proteins lining the inner surface of the inner nuclear membrane, where it serves to maintain nuclear stability, organize chromatin and bind nuclear pore complexes?
The structure and function of the nucleus.
What is a porous double membraned organelle called a nuclear envelope that stores and protect the cell's DNA?
This can be described as the structure and function of tight junctions.
What is the very tightly binding of neighboring cells by proteins, forming continuous seals that prevent extracellular fluid leakage?
The structure and function of a flagellum can be described like this.
What is a 9+2 arrangement of microtubules crosslinked with dynein and attached to a basal body and is used for cell motility through undulating motion?
The structure and function of the centrosome can be described like this.
What is an organelle consisting of 2 centrioles arranged in a 90 degree structure and surrounded by a mass of proteins called the pericentriolar material, that functions to organize the cells microtubules during cell division?
How neurotransmitters migrate to the tips of axons can be described like this.
What are neurotransmitters are contained in vesicles that use motor proteins and ATP to "walk" along microtubules to the tips of axons?
DAILY DOUBLE
The structure and function of the extracellular matrix can be described like this.
What is a network of collagen, fibronectin, integrins and proteogylcans, that resides in the interstitial fluid and regulate cell adhesion, cell communication, cell migration and proliferation?
This is the structure and function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What is a double membraned network of smooth and rough tubular structures, connected to the nucleus and cell membrane, and responsible for protein and lipid synthesis?
