QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS
What is cytoplasm? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > the jelly-like substance in
which the cell organelles and nucleus are embedded
Nuclear envelope - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > a porous double membrane
barrier that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
Nucleoplasm - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > a jelly-like fluid within the nucleus
whose main function is the storage of the DNA
,Page 2 of 32
Nucleoli - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > spherical bodies containing the genetic
materials that are the largest and prominent components of the cell
nucleus
Chromatin - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > a bead-like structure found within the
chromosomes containing the DNA and protein
Cytoplasm - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > the jelly-like substance in which the cell
organelles and nucleus are embedded
Cytosol - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > the solution or aqueous part within the
cytoplasm in which many organelles are suspended
Cytoplasm organelles - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > the tiny "organs" or structures
within the cytoplasm, which perform specific functions responsible for
the growth, maintenance, and reproduction of an organism
Ribosome - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > cell organelle responsible for protein
synthesis

Endoplasmic reticulum - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > a network of membranes
that are important for protein and lipid synthesis
Golgi complex - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > a stack of small flat sacs of
membranes in the cytoplasm, which prepare protein and fat molecules
Lysosomes - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > membrane-bound cell organelles
containing digestive enzymes that disintegrate decayed cell parts and may
also destroy viruses and bacteria
Mitochondria - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > the powerhouse of the cell that helps
in ATP production and storage
Cell membrane - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > a thin and flexible membrane
surrounding the cells that acts as a barrier between the intracellular and
the extracellular fluids

What are the components of the cell nucleus? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
nuclear envelope, nuclear lamina, nucleolus, chromosomes, nucleoplasm
are some of these components
Homeostasis - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > an organism's process of maintaining a
stable internal environment suitable for sustaining life
For example : even with fluctuations in the temperature of the external
environment, the body maintains a relatively constant internal
temperature of approximately 98.6°F (37°C).
What is the function of the nucleus? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The cell
nucleus is commonly found in the center of most cells. It is the control
center of the cell and contains most of the cell's genetic material
encoded within DNA molecules. The nucleus controls a cell's activities
by regulating gene expression.
How does the structure of the cell membrane help control what enters
and leaves the cell? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > selective permeability: a
specific function of the plasma membrane which allows passage of
selected substances into and out of the cell
