Questions & Answers 100% Solved
Nucleus

(Brain / Da' Control Center) Correct answer-Structure:

- filled with nucleic acids, RNA & DNA

- surrounded by nuclear membrane




Function:

- provides genetic information to the cell

- controls cell process & reproduction




Endoplasmic Reticulum Correct answer-Endoplasmic Reticulum Network of canals used
to transport and store substances. It is a pathway between the nucleus and cell membrane

ER (emergency room- ambulance transports you to the ER)




Smooth ER Correct answer-Structure:

- NOT covered in Ribosomes

- series of membrane tubes




Function: (highway for materials)

- creates lipid-based molecules like hormones and steroids

- 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) Correct answer-Structure:

- filled with RNA (cheap copies of DNA)

- found in nucleus

- no membranes



Function:

- creates ribosomes (which produces proteins)



Golgi

(packaging plant/post-office) Correct answer--stacks of flattened membrane sacks that...

- creates, modifies, and packages proteins and lipids for the cell

- puts products in membrane sacks called vesicles

- produces lysosomes
