AP Biology Cell Structure and
Function terms with solutions.
Nucleus - n
ANS ✔✔
Contains nuclear envelope, dna (spread out w/in this as the threadlike matrix chromatin)
Qs
ribosome - n
ANS ✔✔
Manufactured in the nucleus; consists of rna molecs and proteins; in the cytoplasm, this
assists in the assembly of amino acids into proteins
Qs
endoplasmic reticulum (er) - n
ANS ✔✔
Stacks of flattened sacs involved in the production of various materials; appear as a
series of maze-like channels in cross section; when ribosomes are present, it creates
glycoproteins
Qs
smooth er - n
ANS ✔✔
Without ribosomes; responsible for various activities, including the synthesis of lipids
andhormones
Qs
golgi apparatus - n
ANS ✔✔
, Group of flattened sacs arranged like a stack of bowls; modify and package proteins
and lipids into vesicles; vesicles often migrate to and merge with the plasma membrane
Qs
vesicles - n
ANS ✔✔
Small, sphericaly shaped sacs that bud from the outside surface of the golgi apparatus;
often migrate to and merge with the plasma membrane, releasing their contens to the
outside of the cell
Qs
lysosomes - n
ANS ✔✔
Vesicles from a golgi apparatus that contain digestive enzymes; break down food,
cellular debris, and foreign invaders such as bacteria; a low ph is favorable;do not occur
in plant cells
Qs
peroxisomes - n
ANS ✔✔
Break down various substances, including hydrogen peroxide (h202), fatty acids, and
amino acids; common in liver and kidney cells; in plant cells, these modify by-products
of photorespiration
Qs
mitochondria - n
ANS ✔✔
Carry out aerobic respiration (energy-in the form of atp- is obtained from carbohydrates)
Qs
chloroplasts - n
