Organelles 1
This organelle is found surrounding the nucleus and is responsible for helping ribosomes make protein.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
This organelle is the site for intracellular digestion.
What is the lysosome?
This organelle can be found inside of the nucleus and is responsible for ribosomal RNA processing and ribosomal subunit organization.
What is the Nucleolus?
During this phase of mitosis, chromosomes are pulled apart and moved to opposite poles of the cell.
What is anaphase?
These cells are products of the parent cell and are identical to each other and the parent cell.
What are daughter cells?
This organelle is responsible for housing the DNA and it controls cell function. It is the biggest organelle.
This part of the cytoskeleton is responsible for contraction and can be found in muscle cells.
What are actin filaments?
This organelle can be found surrounding the nucleus and its function is to make lipids and components to the cell membrane.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
During this phase of mitosis, the nuclear membrane disappears, and the DNA condenses to form chromosomes.
What is prophase?
This is what identical halves of a chromosome are called.
What are sister chromatids?
This organelle is responsible for making microtubules to separate the chromosomes during mitosis.
What are centrosomes?
This organelle takes products made from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them in vesicles, and sends them out to other parts of the cell or out of the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This organelle is responsible for creating and maintaining a unique environment inside the cell. It regulates what goes into and comes out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The cytoplasm completely splits to form two separate daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
During this phase, the cell membrane begins to pinch in the middle and the nuclear membrane reforms around the genetic material.
What is telophase?
This organelle is responsible for creating and degrading hydrogen peroxide.
What are peroxisomes?
System of filaments running throughout the cell that are anchored to the cell membrane and nucleus.
What is the cytoskeleton?
This is part of the cytoskeleton that provides mechanical strength to the cell.
What are intermediate filaments?
During this phase of mitosis, the cell duplicates its DNA, organelles, and finishes growing.
What is interphase?
This is formed when DNA condenses.
What are chromosomes?
Moves secretions from the Golgi body to the plasma membrane.
What are secretory vesicles?
This organelle uses cellular respiration in order to make ATP, which is energy for the cell to use.
What is Mitochondria?
This is the internal pool of the cell excluding the organelles.
What is the cytosol or cytoplasm?
During this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
These form to connect to the chromosomes during prophase. They will help with pulling the chromosomes apart during anaphase.
What are microtubules?
