Bio Beyond questions and answers
Nucleus - correct answer-A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for
growth and reproduction. Found in animal and plant cells.
Nuclear Membrane - correct answer-Controls what goes in and out of the nucleus. Is found
in plant and animal cells.
Nucleolus - correct answer-Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes. Found in
both plant and animal cells.
Chromosomes - correct answer-Threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain
the genes. Found in all cells.
Cytoplasm - correct answer-A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are
suspended. Found in all cells.
Cell Membrane - correct answer-Thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters
and leaves the cell. Found in all cells.
Cytoskeleton - correct answer-A network of long protein strands in the cytosol that helps
support the cell. Found in plant and animal cells.
Mitochondrion - correct answer-Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in
food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use. Found in plant and animal
cells.
Ribosome - correct answer-Makes proteins
Vacuole - correct answer-Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins,
and carbohydrates. Found in plant and animal cells.
Plastid - correct answer-Cytoplasmic bodies within a plant cell that are often pigmented.
Found in plant cells.
Centriole - correct answer-Cell organelle that aids in cell division. Found only in animal cells.
Cell Wall - correct answer-A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides
support to the cell. Found only in plant cells.
Endoplasmic Reticulum - correct answer-A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways
in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another. Found
in plant and animal cells.
, Golgi Body - correct answer-A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly
formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to
other parts of the cell. Found in plant and animal cells.
Lysosome - correct answer-An organelle containing digestive enzymes. Found in animal and
plant cells.
Chloroplast - correct answer-An organelle found in plant and algae cells where
photosynthesis occurs. Found in plant cells.
Peroxisome - correct answer-A micro-body containing enzymes that transfer hydrogen from
various substrates to oxygen, producing and then degrading hydrogen peroxide. Found in
plant and animal cells.
Pili - correct answer-Appendages that allow bacteria to attach to each other and to transfer
DNA. Found in bacteria cells.
Flagellum - correct answer-A long, hairlike structure that grows out of a cell and enables the
cell to move. Found in bacteria cells.
Microgravity in Space - correct answer-Weak gravity orbiting around space.
Weightlessness - correct answer-Not being acted on by gravity.
Effects of Microgravity on the Skeletal System(2) - correct answer-Pelvis, Lumbar spine,
tibia, fibula, femur and head of femur;bone loss
Osteocytes - correct answer-Bone cells that sense the load on a bone and signal
builder-cells to increase bone density.
Osteoblasts - correct answer-Bone building cells.
Osteoclasts - correct answer-Bone reabsorbing cells.
Effects of Loading on Bones - correct answer-Higher bone mass;healthier bones
Reasons Pelvis and Femur lose bones mass in space - correct answer-Because you are
using these bones to stand up and the effects of weightlessness affect these areas the most.
Cellular Respiration - correct answer-Process that releases energy by breaking down
glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
Glycolysis - correct answer-The breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and
pyruvic acid.
Glucose - correct answer-A simple sugar that is an important source of energy.
