TOPIC 7 DAY 4 - CELL STRUCTURES AND FUNCTION

Front

What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) found in cells?

Back

Smooth ER (no ribosomes) and Rough ER (with ribosomes embedded in its membrane).

Front

What is the primary function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

To produce and transport proteins within the cell.

Front

What would happen if the rough endoplasmic reticulum lost all of its ribosomes?

Back

Protein production in the organism would stop.

Front

Which organelles are part of the cell's packaging and transport system?

Back

Golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Front

What are cilia and what is their function in cells?

Back

Cilia are hair-like structures that help in movement.

Front

What would likely occur if a cell's lysosomes were damaged?

Back

The cell would be less able to break down molecules in its cytoplasm.

Front

What organelle is responsible for converting solar energy into chemical energy?

Back

Chloroplasts.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

To break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

How do ribosomes contribute to the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

Ribosomes synthesize proteins that are then processed and transported by the rough ER.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus in a cell?

Back

To modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
