endoplasmic reticulum - Ans:✔✔-- protein management
golgi apparatus - Ans:✔✔-- package
ribosomes - Ans:✔✔-translate RNA to proteins
lysosomes - Ans:✔✔-contain degradative enzymes
cytoskeleton - Ans:✔✔-- provide structure, "madways" and polarity to cell
function of DNA in controlling cell function - Ans:✔✔--stable DNA molecule (contains the information
needed for control of the cell structure and function)
- every cell in the body contains the same genetic information
(each cell type uses only a portion depending on its structure and function)
- four bases making up the alphabet of the genetic code ( adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine (in
RNA, uracil))
protein formation - Ans:✔✔-- proteins formed from DNA translation have a specific shape
- amino acid sequence determines shape
- 3-4 levels of protein structure
- form will influence function (improperly formed proteins -> alteration in function)
