Nucleus
What's the part that tells the cell what to do and when to do it, and acts like the brain of the cell.
The nucleus.
Where is the nucleolus
C
Where is the nucleolus located?
What do ribosomes make?
Proteins
Which part of the nucleus produces ribosomes?
Nucleolus
What does it act like storage for?
DNA and genetic information
Where is chromatin in the picture?
What is B
Does the nucleolus have a membrane?
No.
Where can ribosomes be found in the cell? (There's more than one place)
Floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER
Which part of the cell stores DNA with instructions for proteins?
The nucleus
What does the nucleus regulate?
Critical functions
Where is the nuclear envelope?
E
What does it look like through a microscope?
A darker spot inside the nucleus
What produces the ribosomes?
The nucleolus, which is INSIDE the nucleus
Put the following in order for protein production: nucleus, ribosomes, nucleolus
Nucleus--> nucleolus--> ribosomes
Without the nucleus, the cell would not be able to do what?
Function properly / follow instructions
Where is the nuclear pore?
A
What is the nucleoli's main function?
To produce ribosomes by assembling ribosomal RNA and proteins
How do ribosomes know which kind of protein to make?
They follow the instructions that the DNA (from the nucleus) gave them
What do the ribosomes do for the cell?
Synthesizes(builds) the proteins that the cell needs to survive and function
What happens to a cell if the nucleus is badly damaged?
Cell death
Where is the nucleoplasm
D
Why is the nucleolus so important for protein production in the cell?
Because it makes ribosomes, which are needed to build proteins.
What are the two different types of ribosomes, and what do they do?
Free ribosomes: make proteins for inside the cell;
Rough ER ribosomes: makes proteins that are sent to other parts of the cell
Explain how all three(nucleus, nucleolus, and ribosomes) work together to make proteins and keep the cell alive.
The nucleus stores DNA with instructions for proteins, the nucleolus makes ribosomes inside the nucleus, and ribosomes use the instructions from the nucleus to build the proteins the cell needs to function.
