Card preview (24)

#1
Front (Question)

What is the structure of the cell membrane?

Back (Answer)

the structure is double layered (made up of lipids and proteins)

#2
Front (Question)

What is the structure of cytoplasm

Back (Answer)

The structure is think + jelly like, fill up empty space between the nucleus and cell membrane.

#3
Front (Question)

What is the structure of cytosol

Back (Answer)

The liquid part of the cytoplasm, 75-90% water, contains salts and carbohydrates, fats and proteins suspend.

#4
Front (Question)

What is the structure of the nucleus

Back (Answer)

It is the largest organelle, it is oval or spherical shaped, has a membrane (nuclear membrane), pores (nuclear pores) and a nucleolus

#5
Front (Question)

What is the structure of ribosomes

Back (Answer)

they are small and spherical, can be either free or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

#6
Front (Question)

What is the structure of the endoplasmic reticulum (er)

Back (Answer)

They are pairs of parallel membranes, can be either rough (rough endoplasmic reticulum, RER) or smooth (smooth endoplasmic reticulum, SER). The RER has ribosomes where as SER has no ribosomes

#7
Front (Question)

What is the structure of the golgi body

Back (Answer)

The golgi body is flattened membranes stacked on top of one another, find near the nucleus and the endoplasmic reticulum.

#8
Front (Question)

What is the structure of lysosomes

Back (Answer)

small spheres, bound by a membrane

#9
Front (Question)

What is the structure of the mitochondria

Back (Answer)

the mitochondria is spherical or elongated, has a double membrane and has many folds (to increase surface area)

#10
Front (Question)

What is the structure of cilia and flagella

Back (Answer)

Cilia is short and hair like Flagella is long and there is only a few

#11
Front (Question)

What is the structure of the cytoskeleton

Back (Answer)

framework of protein fibers - microtubules and microfilaments

#12
Front (Question)

What is the structure of centrioles

Back (Answer)

pairs of cynical structures, usually near the nucleus.

#13
Front (Question)

What is the function of the cell membrane

Back (Answer)

separates the inside of the cell from the outside, controls what enters and exits.

#14
Front (Question)

What is the function of cytoplasm

Back (Answer)

acts as a shock absorber, supports and suspends the organelles

#15
Front (Question)

What is the function of cytosol

Back (Answer)

location of metabolic reations, controls osmotic pressure, there is chemical flow

#16
Front (Question)

What is the function of the Nuclues

Back (Answer)

controls the structure and function of the entire cell, it contains DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid)

#17
Front (Question)

What is the function of ribosomes

Back (Answer)

joins amino acids to make proteins

#18
Front (Question)

What is the function of the Endoplasmic reticulum

Back (Answer)

a surface for chemical reactions, stores and transports molecules

#19
Front (Question)

What is the function of the Golgi body

Back (Answer)

modify and package proteins to be secreted from the cell, forms sacs of liquid with proteins (vesicles)

#20
Front (Question)

What is the function of lysosomes

Back (Answer)

contains digestive enzymes, break down old organelles

#21
Front (Question)

What is the function of the Mitochondria

Back (Answer)

the site of cellular respiration

#22
Front (Question)

What is the function of cilia and flagella

Back (Answer)

cilia is to move substances over/across the cell Flagella is to move the entire cell

#23
Front (Question)

What is the function of the Cytoskeleton

Back (Answer)

Give the cell it’s shape, moves material and organelles, holds organelles in place (cytoplasm)

#24
Front (Question)

What is the function of centrioles

Back (Answer)

assist in cellular respiration
