|
|
|
What is the function of the nucleus?
|
It is the control center of the cell and controls the functions of the cell. It also contains the genetic material of the cell.
|
|
|
What is the nuclear membrane for?
|
It is protection for the nucleus and acts like a shield. It filters the substances coming in and out of the nucleus.
|
|
|
What does the nucleolus do?
|
It produces ribosomes which are key in protein synthesis
|
|
|
What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum?
|
It produces and stores protein by breaking down other substances
|
|
|
What do ribosomes do in a cell?
|
They are organelles in which proteins are produced
|
|
|
What do the mitochondria do?
|
They are the centers where energy is produce to run the cell and the cell processes
|
|
|
What is the function of the golgi apparatus?
|
The golgi apparatus transports material throughout the cell
|
|
|
What do lysosomes do?
|
They digest food particles, water, cell parts, and foreign invaders
|
|
|
What are the vacuoles for?
|
The vacuole stores water and other materials
|
|
|
What does a cell wall do in a plant cell?
|
It is the most outer layer which protects and keeps the cell's shape. It also give the cell strength against the outside world
|
|
|
What is cytoplasm?
|
It is the substance in which the organelles float. This substance is very much jelly-like
|
|
|
What do chloroplasts do in a plant cell?
|
They contain the green chlorophyll and is the facility where photosynthesis occurs

What does the nucleus look like?
|
The nucleus looks like a large round bubble
|
|
|

|
The nuclear membrane looks like a thin layer around the nucleus
|
|
|
What does the nucleolus look like?
|
The nucleolus is the main structure in the nucleus and it is usually round
|
|
|
What does the endoplasmic reticulum look like?
|
The endoplasmic reticulum looks like small, thin pathways which are connected.
|
|
|
What do ribosomes look like?
|
Ribosomes look like small dots or raisons, throughout the cell and around the nucleus
|
|
|
What do mitochondria look like?
|
Mitochondria are usually circular or rod-shaped. They may also look similar to shell peanuts
|
|
|
What does the golgi apparatus look like?
|
The golgi apparatus consists of long thin lines which rap back and forth
|
|
|
What do lysosomes look like?
|
Lysosomes are medium sized circles and are kind of blob-like
|
|
|
What do vacuoles look like?
|
Vacuoles are large and sack-like
|
|
|

|
The cell wall looks like a thick layer surrounding the entire plant cell
|
|
|
What does cytoplasm look like?
|
Cytoplasm is the substance throughout the entire cell
|
|
|
