What is the Plasma Membrane - CORRECT ANSWER-Selectively permeable
membrane made of phospholipids and proteins surrounding the entire cell.
What is the function of the plasma membrane? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Separates the internal components of the cell from the surrounding
environment and is essential to the life of the cell.
What is the Cytoplasm? - CORRECT ANSWER-Gel-like fluid filling the inside of
the cell that is comprised primarily of water, with electrolytes, metabolic waste
products, and nutrients dissolved within it.
What is the function of the cytoplasm? - CORRECT ANSWER-Contains many
suspended organelles, or cell structures and is a medium for chemical reactions.
What is the Nucleus? - CORRECT ANSWER-Large, spherical body near the
center of the cell containing genetic material in the form of DNA.
What is the function of the nucleus? - CORRECT ANSWER-Control center of the
cell, regulates cell activity, and house genetic material (DNA).
What is the Nuclear Membrane? - CORRECT ANSWER-Double-layered, porous
membrane surrounding the nucleus.
What is the function of the nuclear membrane? - CORRECT ANSWER-Protects
the nucleus, allowing in only specific materials.
What is the Nucleolus? - CORRECT ANSWER-Dark, dense body within the
nucleus without an enclosing membrane; most cells contain one to four.
What is the function of the nucleolus? - CORRECT ANSWER-Forms RNA and
ribosomes
What is the Mitochondria? - CORRECT ANSWER-Elongated, rod shaped bodies
filled with fluid, containing DNA. Known as the "power plant" of the cell.
,What is the function of the mitochondria? - CORRECT ANSWER-Converts
nutrients into energy for use by the cell/body' creates adenosine triphosphate
(ATP).
What are Ribosomes? - CORRECT ANSWER-Small granules of RNA found in
the nucleolus or cytoplasm.
What is the function of ribosomes? - CORRECT ANSWER-Protein synthesis for
both internal and external use.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum? - CORRECT ANSWER-Complex
connection of membranous fluid-filled, flat sacs and tubular channels. Connects
the cell membrane to the nucleus membrane, as well as some organelles.
Comprised of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and smooth endoplasmic
reticulum (SER).
What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Transports materials throughout the cell.
What is the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Supports the synthesis and transport of proteins.
What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Supports the synthesis of some lipid molecules, including steroids.
What is the Golgi Apparatus? - CORRECT ANSWER-Four to five flat
membranous sacs, connected to the endoplasmic reticulum; typically found near
the nucleus.
What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus? - CORRECT ANSWER-"Packaging
and shipping plant" of the cell. Packages and releases materials secreted by the
cell for external use. Forms lysosomes for sure within the cell.
What are Lysosomes? - CORRECT ANSWER-Sacs surrounded by membrane
and are created by the Golgi Apparatus?
, What is the function of Lysosomes? - CORRECT ANSWER-Digest waste
materials including damaged materials found in the cell, old cell components, and
materials entering the cell.
What is the Cytoskeletan? - CORRECT ANSWER-Comprised of protein
microfilaments and microtubules.
What is the function of the Cytoskeleton? - CORRECT ANSWER-Maintains the
shape and structure of a cell. Keeps organelles in place and moves them
throughout the cell as needed.
What are Centrioles? - CORRECT ANSWER-A pair of rod-shaped bodies made
up of microtubules found near the nucleus.
What is the function of Centrioles? - CORRECT ANSWER-Participate in cell
reproduction through the distributions of DNA to new cells.
What is Cilia? - CORRECT ANSWER-Short, hair-like microtubules projecting
from the cell membrane.
What is the function of Cilia? - CORRECT ANSWER-Aids in the movement of
substances along the surface of the cell.
What is the Flagella? - CORRECT ANSWER-Long, hair-like microtubules,
projecting for the cell membrane.
What is the function of the Flagella? - CORRECT ANSWER-Move the cell itself,
through a whip-like motion.
Which cell organelle is responsible for transporting materials throughout the cell.
- CORRECT ANSWER-Endoplasmic Reticulum
How many planes of the body are there? - CORRECT ANSWER-Three planes
What are the three planes of the body? - CORRECT ANSWER-Sagittal,
transverse, and frontal
