Year 12 Biology: Cell Structure Quiz

This quiz includes organelles, structures within the cell and molecules that make up these organelles and structures. Answers in green are only found in eukaryote cells, answers in blue are found in both Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes It should be noted that Extracellular means the environment beyond the cell and you don't need to type 'the' PS. I've created this more out of personally wanting to improve my biology grades :)

Hint
Answer
Genetic code that creates proteins (blueprints of life)
DNA
A structural feature that contains cellulose
Cell Wall
Controls cell activities and contains genetic information
Nucleus
The name for the membrane of above
Nuclear Envelope
The protein channels that regulate molecule transportation in above
Nuclear Pores
The cite of Aerobic respiration (the power house of the cell)
Mitochondria
Folds within above that increase cell metabolism through increasing the SA:V ratio
Cristae
Everything inside the cell minus the exterior membrane
Protoplasm
Gel like medium that contains organelles, water and salt
Cytoplasm
The liquid minus the organelles and membranes
Cytosol
The site of rRNA Synthesis for Eukaryotes
Nucleolus
A large organelle in plant cells that stores water and waste products while maintaining structural form
Vacuole
A specialized version of below that contains digestive enzymes
Lysosome
A smaller version of the large organelle that contains water. This version that can transport materials around the cell
Vesicle
An organelle that packages proteins into above. Is also essential in exocytosis
Golgi Apparatus
When the genetic material condenses it creates this structure. You should have 23 from each parent in every cell
Chromosome
Structure that helps move above to either side in cell division
Centrioles
Fibers that that come out of above to attach to the condensed genetic material
Spindle Fibers
tail like organelle used for extracellular movement (found mostly in prokaryotes)
Flagella
The site of photosynthesis
Chloroplast
The flattened sacs within above that collectively are known as grana
Thylakoids
The green, photosynthetic pigment that absorbs sunlight in above
Chlorophyll
The fluid that surrounds the flattened sacs
Stroma
Small hair like organelles that prevent the spread of pathogens in the lungs. For individual cells they are used for sensory and locomotive purposes
Cilia
Exist in large quantities and can bind mRNA to tRNA to create a polypeptide chain. This chain later becomes a protein
Ribosome
Is made up of many passages and functions to transport materials around the cell. It appears to be rough because it has many of above attached to it's surface
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The protein that genetic material wraps around to control gene expression
Histone
Gives the cell it's shape, facilitates movement and cuts the cell during the latest stage of cell division (cytokinesis)
Cytoskeleton
protein components of above composed of actin that keep organelles in place and control muscle movement
Microfilaments
another protein component that provides structure and for the cell and assists in transporting organelles in cell division
Microtubules
Similar to genetic material but is smaller and can transport genetic code from its membrane bound environment to the site of protein synthesis
RNA
An enzyme that joins genetic material together after being transcribed for protein synthesis or replicated
Ligase
Is able to synthesis lipids and is described as smooth
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Enzyme that binds genetic material with nucleotides or mRNA to replicate or transport genetic information
Polymerase
The membrane that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell
Cell membrane
These molecules make up the structure of above and have hydrophobic tails
Phospholipids
Restricts the movement of above to prevent large substances moving through the membrane
Sterol
Gene products, These structures are made of amino acids and control most functions in the cell
Proteins
Cushions and respond to stimuli as well as being vital in cell recognition
Glycolipids
The enzyme that splits genetic material to allow replication or transportation of the genetic code
Helicase
