    Cards (27)

    • Why is the cell membrane important for cells?
      It controls what goes in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
    • What is the name of the structure that is external to all cells?
      The cell membrane.
    • What is the function of the cell wall?
      It helps maintain cell shape and offers additional protection.
    • Which type of cells have a cell wall?
      Most prokaryotic cells and some eukaryotic cells, like plant cells.
    • What are centrioles involved with?
      They are involved with cell division.
    • How many centrioles are there per centrosome?
      There are 2 centrioles per centrosome.
    • What is the primary function of chloroplasts?
      They are involved in photosynthesis and making sugar.
    • Which type of cells contain chloroplasts?
      Plant cells.
    • What does the cytoplasm include in a eukaryotic cell?
      Everything inside the cell except the nucleus.
    • What is cytosol?
      Cytosol is the jelly-like substance part of the cytoplasm.
    • What are the functions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
      The ER processes molecules and transports them in vesicles.
    • What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum?
      Rough ER and smooth ER.
    • What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
      It modifies, sorts, and packages materials for delivery.
    • What is the main function of lysosomes?
      Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down substances.
    • What is the primary function of mitochondria?
      Mitochondria produce ATP in cellular respiration.
    • Where is DNA found in the cell?
      In the nucleus.
    • What is the function of ribosomes?
      Ribosomes make proteins.
    • What is the central vacuole in plant cells?
      It is usually one large vacuole that stores materials.
    • What can vacuoles store in cells?
      They can store water, proteins, and waste, depending on the cell type.
    • What are the basic functions of the organelles discussed in the video?
      • Cell membrane: controls entry and exit of substances
      • Cell wall: provides structure and protection
      • Centrioles: involved in cell division
      • Chloroplasts: perform photosynthesis
      • Cytoplasm: contains all cell contents except nucleus
      • Endoplasmic reticulum: processes and transports molecules
      • Golgi apparatus: modifies and packages materials
      • Lysosomes: digest substances
      • Mitochondria: produce ATP
      • Nucleus: houses DNA and controls cell activities
      • Ribosomes: synthesize proteins
      • Vacuoles: store various materials
    • Why is it important to understand organelle function in relation to diseases?
      Because dysfunction of organelles can lead to diseases affecting the entire organism.
    • What is the modern cell theory's relation to cells?
      All life is made up of one or more cells.
    • What can result from the dysfunction of the endoplasmic reticulum?
      Diseases can result from its dysfunction.
    • What are ribosomopathies?
      They are diseases resulting from ribosome dysfunction.
    • How does understanding cell organelles help in treating conditions?
      More knowledge about organelles can lead to better treatment strategies for dysfunctions.
    • Who were the Amoeba Sisters?
      They are the creators of the video discussing cell organelles.
    • What is the significance of staying curious according to the Amoeba Sisters?
      Staying curious is important for learning and understanding science.
