Genetic materials
How many chromosomes do humans have?
46 in each cell
What is the mitochondria?
The powerhouse of the cell. It produces ATP, which gives the rest of the cell energy.
Do animal cells have cell walls?
No
What makes the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum rough?
The ribosomes attached to the outside.
What organelle (cell organ) is responsible for holding DNA?
The nucleus
What is the name of the membrane-bound containers that move material around the cell?
What is a cell wall?
A rigid, strong wall that surrounds the cell.
Which organelle produces lipids and helps detoxify the cell?
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
What are chromosomes made of?
DNA and proteins
What are the names of the sacs that contain digestive enzymes?
Lysosomes
What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?
The chloroplasts
What is the main function of the Rough ER?
It makes proteins (and membranes that are used throughout the cell).
Where are ribosomes made?
In the nucleolus
What is cytosol?
A fluid, containing solutes and concentration gradients, that is a part of the cytoplasm.
What are the huge vesicles found in plant cells that hold water?
Vacuoles
Where do proteins go to be processed and packaged before being sent out again?
The Golgi Body/Golgi Apparatus
Which organelle is responsible for making proteins?
The ribosomes
What is the cytoskeleton?
What are centrioles?
Centrioles are important in positioning in the cell. The positions of the other organelles depend on where the centriole is located.
What organelles make up the endomembrane system? (There are 3)
Rough ER, Smooth ER, and Golgi
