Describe The Difference Between Nucleus And Cytoplasm
1a. What are the two major parts of the cell?
The two major parts of the cell are the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
1b. How is the role of the nucleus in a cell similar to the role of the captain on a sports team?
The role of the nucleus in a cell similar to the role of the captain on a sports team because nucleus is the middle part of an object or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.
2a. What is the function of lysosomes?
The function of lysosomes is cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
2b. How do contractile vacuoles help maintain water balance?
They help maintain water balance by contracting rhythmically pumping water out.

3b. Describe the steps involved in the synthesis, packaging, and export of a protein from a cell.
The steps involved in the synthesis, packing, and export of a protein from a cell are first, the ribosome makes a protein. Next, the proteins, gathered in the rough ER, are targeted for export to the Golgi apparatus in a vesicle. Finally, the Golgi apparatus modifies the protein that is than are shipped out of the cell.
4a. What is the function of mitochondria?
The function of mitochondria is to convert chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
4b. You examine an unknown cell under a microscope and discover that the cell contains chloroplasts. From what type of organism does that cell likely come from?
The type of organism that the cell likely came from that cell likely comes from a plant.
5a. Why is the cell membrane sometimes referred to as a fluid mosaic? What part of the cell membrane acts like a fluid? And what makes it like a
