Front 1

What are lysosomes?

Back 1

Membrane organelles that contains enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids

Front 2

Name for cell suicide

Back 2

Apoptosis

Front 3

What happens if apoptosis doesn’t happen naturally?

Back 3

The cell remains and cause an overgrowth of the tissue possibly producing a tumor

Front 4

What is a centrosome?

Back 4

A structure made up of two centrioles

Front 5

Describe a centriole

Back 5

Rod-shaped structure that lie right angle to each other.. each centriole has microtubules that forms a spindle that forms the cell cytoskeleton

Front 6

Function of the centrosome

Back 6

Organizing and moving the structures within the cell

Front 7

Name the three cell extensions

Back 7

Microvilli

Cilia

Flagella

Front 8

Describe the microvilli

Back 8

Finger like projections of the plasma membrane of some cells

Front 9

What is the function of the microvilli

Back 9

Increase the surface area of the cell and is used for absorption

Front 10

Describe the cilia

Back 10

Fine hairlike extension on exposed free surface of the cell- they look like an insect antenna

Front 11

What is the flagella?

Back 11

The tail of the cell that makes it move - it wiggles

Example- the tail of the male Sperm

Front 12

What is the nucleus?

Back 12

The center of the cell that contains the cell genetic information which controls every organelle

Front 13

What surrounds the nucleus?

Back 13

Nuclear envelope

Front 14

Tiny openings on the nuclear envelope

Back 14

Nuclear pores

Front 15

Where do you find the nucleoplasm?

Back 15

In the nuclear envelope

Front 16

Structures of the nucleoplasm
