in and out of the cell
What is the cell filled with? - AnswerCytoplasm/Cytosol
What is an organelle? - AnswerGroup of complex molecules that help the cell survive
What do ALL cells contain? - AnswerDNA, RNA, and protein synthesis ability
What does each cell consist of? - AnswerNucleic acids, cytoplasm, and cell
membrane
How does cell life begin? - AnswerWith sexual or asexual reproduction
What makes up tissue? - Answercollection of cells
What makes up organs? - AnswerCollection of tissues
What do ribosomes do? - AnswerSynthesize proteins from amino acids
Where can ribosomes be embedded? - AnswerEndoplasmic reticulum
What is the golgi complex? - Answersynthesizing materials that are brought into the
cell.
Where is the golgi complex located? - AnswerNear the nucleus.
What is the golgi complex made of? - AnswerLayered membrane
What are vacuoles? - AnswerSacs used for storage, digestion and waste removal
How many vacuoles does a plant cell have? - Answer1 large vacuole
Can animal cells have more than one vacuole? - AnswerYes
What is a vesicle? - AnswerIt is a small organelle within a cell.
What does the membrane of a vesicle do? - AnswerMoves materials within a cell
, What is the cytoskeleton made up of? - AnswerMicrotubules that help shape and
support the cell.
What is a microtubule? - AnswerPart of the cytoskeleton to support the cell.
What are microtubules made up of? - AnswerProtein
What is cytosol? - AnswerMaterial inside of the cell.
What is cytosol made up of? - AnswerMostly water, but can have other floating
molecules.
What is the cell membrane? - AnswerDefines the cell by acting as a barrier
What does the cell membrane do? - AnswerHelps keep the cytoplasm inside and
foreign substances outside.
What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum? - AnswerSmooth and Rough
What does rough endoplasmic reticulum have? - AnswerRibosomes on the outside
What is the endoplasmic reticulum? - AnswerA tubular network that acts as a
transport system.
Fused to the nuclear membrane and extends into cytoplasm.
What does the mitochondria do? - AnswerDevelops ATP, assists cell growth/death
Do mitochondria contain their own DNA? - AnswerYes! it is separate from the
nucleus.
List the 4 functions of the mitochondria - Answer1. Cell energy
2. Cell signaling
3. Cellular differentiation
4. Cell cycle/growth regulation
