ER You Serious?
These are the two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum. (Must Say Both).
What are the Rough and Smooth ER?
All of the information for building proteins is housed in this structure.
What is the Nucleus?
This rigid structure is found in plant cells, but not in animal cells.
What is the Cell Wall?
This structure captures the energy of light and converts it into chemical energy.
What is the Chloroplast?
These are the small, very numerous structures on the outside of cells to help them move.
What are cilia?
This type of Endoplasmic Reticulum is well known for being a location for protein and lipid synthesis. It is also where you will find many ribosomes.
What is the Rough?
Often nicknamed the "Post office" of the cell, this organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins inside a cell.
What is the Golgi Body -or- Golgi Apparatus?
These are the two main (Micro) types of proteins that make up the cytoskeleton. (Must Say Both).
What are Microtubules and Microfilaments?
This organelle converts sugars into ATP for the cells' needs.
What is the Mitochondria?
These little "factories" are very numerous inside a cell, and help to make proteins.
What are Ribosomes?
The lining of the ER is made of this material, the same thing that we find in the cell membrane and Golgi body linings.
What are Phospholipids -or- Phospholipid Bilayer?
Often nicknamed the "stomach" of the cell, these structures contain digestive enzymes.
What are Lysosomes?
The cell walls of plants are made of this fibrous polysaccharide (carbohydrate).
What is Cellulose?
These are the small, green, coin-like structures found inside the chloroplast. They absorb light for photosynthesis.
What are Thylakoids?
Plants usually have a large one of these; animal cells have a small one, if any at all.
What is a Vacuole?
This process takes place in the smooth ER, and helps to breakdown harmful substances, especially in liver cells.
What is Detoxification?
Vesicles from the Golgi interact with the inside of the cell membrane in order to release proteins to the outside of the cell in this process.
What is Exocytosis?
These structures, found in animal cells, are made of microtubules and help the cell to divide.
What are Centrioles?
Highly folded inner membranes called cristae help these structures at being more efficient at their job.
What are Mitochondria?
Ribosomes are made in this "little" structure.
What is the Nucleolus?
What is the Rough ER?
These are the organelles involved in protein synthesis, from the beginning of the process, to exocytosis. (Must Name at least Four in order).
What are the Nucleus, Ribosomes, Rough ER, Golgi Bodies, Vesicles, and the Cell Membrane.
Also Possible - Lysosomes if after Golgi.
This layer can be found in bacterial cells, and is the target of many types of antibiotics in medicine.
What is the Peptidoglycan Layer?
The two major reactions are these; one that makes sugar from sunlight and the other that makes ATP from sugar. (Must Say Both).
What are Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration?
Turgor pressure is a plant cells' way of helping the cell wall remain firm. This is the organelle that helps do that.
What is the Vacuole?
