Which organelle is responsible for the packaging and modification of proteins?
Golgi Apparatus
What is stored in the Vacuole of an animal cell?
Food is stored in the vacuole.
What are the cell organelles located outside the nucleus called?
Cytoplasm
What is the "power house" of the cell?
Mitochondrion
What is the main characteristic of a Lysosome?
It contains hydrolytic enzymes that break down phagocytosed materials.
What is the purpose of the Cytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is a dynamic network of protein filaments.
What is the primary function of the Ribosome?
The ribosome is responsible for the synthesis of protein.
The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is a site for the synthesis of what?
Glycoprotein.
What is the name of the genetic material found within the nucleus?
Chromatin
What is the term for specialized structures or organs inside a cell?
Organelles
What is the site of protein synthesis, made up of ribosomal RNA and protein?
Ribosome
Which structure is described as semi-permeable?
Cell membrane.
The function of a Centriole.
Cell reproduction.
Which part of the cell holds the cell together and separates it from other cells?
Cell membrane
Which of the following is a non-membrane-bound structure?
Ribosome.
Which of these is a membrane-bound organelle?
Mitochondrion.
What dynamic network is made of protein filaments?
Cytoskeleton
What is the key function of the Mitochondrion?
The mitochondrion is the center of respiration of the cell and contains oxidative enzymes that convert sugar to ATP.
What is the control center of the cell?
Nucleus
The main role of the Lysosome.
Breaks down phagocytosed materials.
The primary function of the Golgi Apparatus.
Packaging and modification of proteins.
Describe the primary role of the Nucleus in an animal cell.
The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the DNA.
What is the role of the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum?
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in the synthesis of hormones and lipids.
Which organelle contains hydrolytic enzymes?
Lysosome
Name two non-membrane-bound structures.
Ribosome, Centrioles (or Cytoskeleton).
Which organelle is responsible for the synthesis of hormones and lipids?
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What is the primary function of the Vacuole in an animal cell?
Food storage.
What is the primary function of the Mitochondrion?
Cell respiration.
Name two membrane-bound organelles.
Nucleus, Lysosome (or Peroxisome, Mitochondria, Golgi Apparatus, Endoplasmic Reticulum).
Explain the function of the Cell Membrane.
The cell membrane holds the cell together, separates the cell from others, and is semi-permeable.
