Nucleus and Nucleolus!
What is the job of the Nucleus?
The Nucleus acts like the brain of the cell and controls what the cell does!
What is the job of the the Cytoplasm?
The Cytoplasm is a jelly-like filling that holds the organelles in place and holds the shape of the cell!
What is the job of the R.E.R?
The R.E.R synthesizes, folds, and modifies proteins!
What is the job of the Cell Membrane?
The Cell Membrane protects the cell and regulates substance transport! (nutrients in, waste out)
What are the jobs of the Lysosomes/Vesicles?
The Lysosomes/Vesicles are the recycling centers and digestive systems!
What is the job/function of the Nucleolus?
The Nucleolus has DNA which gives you certain traits.
Which cell's function is to provide support and structure and maintain cell shape!
If you said the Cytoskeleton, you would be CORRECT!
Which cell's function is to produce phospholipids and steroids?
If you said the S.E.R, you would be CORRECT!
Which cell converts nutrients into usable energy!
If you said the Mitochondria, you would be CORRECT!
What is the job/function of the Ribosomes?
The Ribosomes read messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences to assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains!
What is the definition of the Nucleus?
The Nucleus is the central part of the cell.
What is the definition of the Cytoplasm?
The Cytoplasm is a thick, jelly-like filling in the inside of a cell.
What is the definition of the R.E.R?
The R.E.R is a system of interconnected Membrane-bound sacs within eukaryotic cells.
What is the definition of the cell Membrane?
The Cell Membrane is a thin barrier that surrounds all living cells.
What is the job of the Vacuole?
The Vacuole stores nutrients, water, and waste products!
What is the definition of the Nucleolus?
An area inside of the Nucleus made of RNA and proteins. This is where Ribosomes are made.
What is the definition of the Cytoskeleton?
The Cytoskeleton is a complex network or tubules and protein fibers extending throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
What is the definition of the S.E.R?
The S.E.R is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells.
What is the definition of the Mitochondria?
The Mitochondria is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells. This is also the "powerhouse of the cell."
Which organelle helps package and process proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell?
If you said the Golgi Complex, you are CORRECT!
What is the difference between the Nucleus and the Nucleolus?
The Nucleus is a large membrane-bound organelle, while the Nucleolus is a smaller, non-membranous substructure inside the Nucleus.
What is the difference between the Cytoplasm and the Cytoskeleton?
The Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance filling the cell interior, while the Cytoskeleton is a network of protein fibers and tubules.
What is the difference between the R.E.R and the S.E.R?
The main difference between these two organelles is the presence or absence of Ribosomes on their surface.
What is the difference between the Cell Membrane and the Mitochondria?
The Cell Membrane is the outer boundary separating the whole cell from its environment while the Mitochondria is the "powerhouse of the cell".
What organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell?
If you said the Mitochondria, you are CORRECT!
