AP Biology - Cell Organelles and their functions Exam Questions and Answers Solved Correctly
Nucleus
(Brain / Da' Control Center) - Answers Structure:
- filled with nucleic acids, RNA & DNA
- surrounded by nuclear membrane
Function:
- provides genetic information to the cell
- controls cell process & reproduction
Endoplasmic Reticulum - Answers 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 - Answers Structure:
- NOT covered in Ribosomes
- series of membrane tubes
Function: (highway for materials)
- creates lipid-based molecules like hormones and steroids
Rough ER - Answers Structure:
- 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) - Answers Structure:
- filled with RNA (cheap copies of DNA)
- found in nucleus
- no membranes
Function:
- creates ribosomes (which produces proteins)
Golgi
(packaging plant/post-office) - Answers -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
Extras:
- major player in exocytosis
- releases them into the cytoplasm
Mitochrondia
(powerhouse of the cell) - Answers has 2 membrane and its own DNA that creates cellular energy (ATP)
Extras:
Ya' get it from yo' mama!
Chloroplast - Answers Structure:
- membrane-bound organelle
- appears green from a molecule called "chlorophyll" which captures light
Function:
