AP Biology Questions with CORRECT Answers
Question:
Nucleus (Brain / Da' Control Center)
Answer:
Structure:
Question:
- filled with nucleic acids, RNA & DNA
- surrounded by nuclear membrane
Function:
- provides genetic information to the cell
- controls cell process & reproduction
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Answer:
Endoplasmic Reticulum Network of canals used to transport and store substances. It is a
pathway between the nucleus and cell membrane
Question:
ER (emergency roomambulance transports you to the ER) Smooth ER
Answer:
Structure:
Question:
- NOT covered in Ribosomes
- series of membrane tubes
Function
Answer:
(highway for materials)
Question:
- creates lipid-based molecules like hormones and steroids
Rough ER
Answer:
Structure:
, Question:
- covered in Ribosomes
- series of membrane tubes
(usually found near nucleus) Function:
- creates proteins and transports them to the Golgi body.
Nucleolus (Meatballs found in the nucleus)
Answer:
Structure:
Question:
- filled with RNA (cheap copies of DNA)
- found in nucleus
- no membranes
Function:
- creates ribosomes (which produces proteins)
Golgi (packaging plant/post-office)
Answer:
stacks of flattened membrane sacks that...
Question:
- creates, modifies, and packages proteins and lipids for the cell
- puts products in membrane sacks called vesicles
- produces lysosomes
Extras:
- major player in exocytosis
- releases them into the cytoplasm
Mitochrondia (powerhouse of the cell)
Answer:
has 2 membrane and its own DNA that creates cellular energy (ATP)
Question:
-cristae = folds -cellular respiration (aerobic) Chloroplast
