#1
Front (Question)

Nucleus

Back (Answer)

Large organelle surrounded by a DOUBLE membrane called nuclear envelope . Contains chromosomes that are made from linear DNA associated with proteins

#2
Front (Question)

Nuclear envelope

Back (Answer)

Contains pores which allows large molecules to pass through

#3
Front (Question)

Nucleoplasm

Back (Answer)

Jelly-material that fills the nucleus

#4
Front (Question)

Nucleolus

Back (Answer)

Produces rRNA to construct ribosomes

#5
Front (Question)

Golgi Apparatus

Back (Answer)

Consists of a group of fluid filled membrane bound flattened sacs that are often surrounded by smaller vesticles (Golgi vesicles) . It receives protein from the rough endoplasmic reticulum and carbohydrates and lipids from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and modifies them by adding carbohydrates or lipid groups to protein.

#6
Front (Question)

Golgi vesicle

Back (Answer)

Where the modified proteins, carbs and lipids are labelled and sorted in . They are pinched off the end of the golgi and can be transported to content around the cell and sometimes fuse with cell membrane releasing the contents outside of the cell .

#7
Front (Question)

Lysosome

Back (Answer)

Vesicle formed with a digestive enzyme . They hydrolyse and digest worn out organelles and other material to recycle

#8
Front (Question)

Ribosomes

Back (Answer)

Size : 80S They are located at the rough ER or they can be floating free in the cytoplasm They perform protein synthesis

#9
Front (Question)

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Back (Answer)

Sheet like membrane with tubes call cristae. The surface of the cristae is covered in ribosomes which provides a large surface area for protein synthesis. Proteins that are required in other organelles like lysosome are made here. Many of these proteins have carbohydrates groups added to them in the Golgi Apparatus

#10
Front (Question)

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Back (Answer)

No ribosomes located here so instead of proteins being synthesised it is Lipids carbohydrates which are synthesised, stored and transported.

#11
Front (Question)

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Back (Answer)

No ribosomes located here so instead of proteins being synthesised it is Lipids carbohydrates which are synthesised, stored and transported.

#12
Front (Question)

Mitochondria

Back (Answer)

Rod shaped with a double outer membrane. In the folded inner membrane (matrix) it has folds called cristae and the mitochondria’s job is to produce ATP through aerobic respiration. Within the matrix it contains proteins, enzymes, lipids, ribosomes and DNA. Cristae increase surface area for attachment of enzymes

#13
Front (Question)

Mitochondria

Back (Answer)

Rod shaped with a double outer membrane. In the folded inner membrane (matrix) it has folds called cristae and the mitochondria’s job is to produce ATP through aerobic respiration

#14
Front (Question)

Chloroplast ( PLANT )

Back (Answer)

Chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis surrounded by a double membrane. In the inner membrane it has disc and each disc is called a thylakoid and a stack of discs is called grana. Chloroplast also contain stroma which stores energy / ATP (starch) The fluid inside a chloroplast is called the stroma. Lamellae connect the stacks.

#15
Front (Question)

Cell wall ( PLANT )

Back (Answer)

The cell wall strengthens the cell and gives it shape and it is made from polysaccharide AKA cellulose . However it is made from different stuff in other cells Prokaryotic cell wall - Made from Murein Fungal cell wall - Made from Chitin It also has a middle lamella which sticks cells together

#16
Front (Question)

Vacuole ( PLANT )

Back (Answer)

Single membrane Inside the vacuole is mineral salts , sugar , amino acids , wastes and other stuff The sugar and amino acids act as a temporary food store It also has pigments to attract insects
