3.Without the ____ the cell would not be able to effectively remove worn out organelles
Lysosome?
4. _____ in the lysosome serve as catalysts for the breakdown of debris in the cell
Synthesis?

Cristae and Mitochondrion?
6.Ribosomes made in _____ pass through the nuclear envelope before entering the cytoplasm
Nucleolus
7.In Eukaryotes the cells genetic info is found in the ___
Nucleus?
8. Without the ___ the cell would not have spindles during cell division
Centrioles
9. During protein _____ a whole protein molecule is made from various amino acids
Enzymes?
10. Mitcondria can ____ because they have their own DNA
Self replicate?
1. Correct! The DNA inside the cell's control center (the nucleus) contains the instructions for a cell to function.
2. Correct! During mitosis, the cell divides and forms two identical daughter cells.
3. Correct! Without lysosomes, the cell would not be able to effectively remove worn-out organelles.
4. Actually, the term "synthesis" doesn't fit in this context. Synthesis refers to the process of combining two or more substances to form a new product. The correct answer would be enzymes. Enzymes in the lysosome serve as catalysts for the breakdown of debris in the cell.
5. Almost correct! The cristae inside a mitochondrion increase its surface area, thereby assisting in the breakdown of oxygen during cellular respiration.
6. Not quite. Ribosomes are actually made in the nucleolus, but they do not pass through the nuclear envelope. Instead, they are released into the cytoplasm to carry out protein synthesis.
7. Correct! In eukaryotes, the cell's genetic information is found in the nucleus.
8. Correct! Without centrioles, the cell would not have the necessary structures (spindles) during cell division.
9. Not quite. Enzymes are actually proteins that act as catalysts in various cellular processes, including protein synthesis. During protein synthesis, the process by which proteins are made, ribosomes use the instructions encoded in the DNA to assemble amino acids into a complete protein molecule.
10. Correct! Mitochondria can self-replicate because they have their own DNA. This allows them to divide and reproduce independently of the cell's nuclear DNA.
1. The instructions for a cell are stored in the DNA.
2. During mitosis, the cell divides forming two identical daughter cells.
3. Without the lysosome, the cell would not be able to effectively remove worn out organelles.
4. Enzymes in the lysosome serve as catalysts for the breakdown of debris in the cell.
5. The cristae inside a mitochondrion increase its surface area, thereby assisting in the breakdown of oxygen during cellular respiration.
6. Ribosomes made in the nucleolus pass through the nuclear envelope before entering the cytoplasm.
7. In eukaryotes, the cell's genetic information is found in the nucleus.
8. Without the centrioles, the cell would not have spindles during cell division.
9. During protein synthesis, a whole protein molecule is made from various amino acids.
10. Mitochondria can self-replicate because they have their own DNA.
