In what organelle does cellular respiration take place?

Name two storage organelles?
What is the list of organelles that take part in protein synthesis?
How is the nucleus involved in protein synthesis?
What organelle is considered a “factory”, because it takes in raw materials and converts them to cell
products that can be used by the cell?
How does the membrane of the cell differ from the nuclear membrane? What advantages does this
difference have for the nucleus?
What do ribosomes do? Are they found freely floating in the cytoplasm? OR are they found
attached to another organelle? OR both. Explain why this occurs.
What does the endoplasmic reticulum do?

What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER? What is the ER doing that is different in
each case?
What are lysosomes? What types of molecules would be found inside a lysosome?
Why might a lysosome fuse with or link up with a food vacuole?
In what organelle do molecules move from the ER to the Golgi bodies?
What is a centriole? In what type of cell (plant or animal) is it found? What does it do for the cell?
(VERY SHORT ANSWERS FOR EACH QUESTION, 1 VERY VERY SHORT SENTENCE EACH)

1 answer

  1. Mitochondria.
  2. Vacuoles and vesicles.
  3. Nucleus, ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus.
  4. It contains the DNA that encodes the instructions for making proteins.
  5. Ribosome.
  6. The nuclear membrane is double-layered, providing protection and compartmentalization for the nucleus.
  7. Ribosomes synthesize proteins; they can be free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
  8. The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins and lipids.
  9. Rough ER has ribosomes attached for protein synthesis, whereas smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.
  10. Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes.
  11. A lysosome may fuse with a food vacuole to digest food particles for nutrient absorption.
  12. Molecules move through vesicles from the ER to the Golgi bodies.
  13. A centriole is a cylindrical organelle found in animal cells, and it helps organize microtubules during cell division.
