  7. What is a vesicle?: It is a small organelle within a cell.
  8. What does the membrane of a vesicle do?: Moves materials within a cell
  9. What is the cytoskeleton made up of?: Microtubules that help shape and support the cell.
  10. What is a microtubule?: Part of the cytoskeleton to support the cell.
  11. What are microtubules made up of?: Protein
  12. What is cytosol?: Material inside of the cell.
  13. What is cytosol made up of?: Mostly water, but can have other floating mole- cules.
  1. How many membranes does the mitochondria have?: Inner and Outer
  2. What does the inner membrane of mitochondria do?: encloses the matrix (that has mitochondrial DNA and ribosomes)
  3. What are between the inner and outer membrane of mitochondria?: Cristae (folds)
  4. What kind of respiration occurs in the mitochondria?: Aerobic
  5. What is a centrosome?: Involved in mitosis/cell cycle, has a pair of centrioles surrounded by protein
  6. What are centrioles?: Cylinder shaped structures near the nucleus used for division.
  7. What does each cylinder centriole have?: Nine groups of three microtubules.
  8. What is a lysosome?: Structure that digests proteins, lipids, and carbs.
  9. What can the lysosome do?: Help transport undigested substances to mem- brane so it can be removed
  10. What are Cilia?: Appendages extending from surface of cell (causes

move- ment)
