All of the organelles that take part in protein synthesis are Ribosomes, Endoplasmic-Reticulum, and the Golgi Apparatus.

4. What organelle is considered a "factory", because it takes in raw materials and converts them to cell products that can be used by the cell?

Answer: Ribosomes, Mitochondria, ER, Chloroplasts are the "factory" of cell because it takes in raw materials and converts them to cell products that can be used by the cell. Explanation: Ribosomes make proteins for the cell and Mitochondria use sugar and oxygen to deliver energy that is utilized by the cell.

Centrioles are found in just animal cells (eukaryotic) and they help order cell division.

13. What is a centriole? In what type of cell (plant or animal) is it found? What does it do for the cell?

Centrioles are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope. Centrioles play a role in organizing microtubules that serve as the cell's skeletal system. They help determine the locations of the nucleus and other organelles within the cell.

If a cell (with 10% oxygen in it) is in a solution of 3% oxygen molecules and the oxygen can cross the cell's membrane, what do you predict will happen to the oxygen?

11. Why might a lysosome fuse with or link up with a food vacuole?

Lysosome contains some digestive enzymes that help in digestion of food stored inside vacuoles. Moreover the undigested materials are broken down by the lysososmes only. For this reason lysosomes fuse with food vacuoles inside a cell and pass the digestive enzymes to the vacuole for digestion of food.

10. What are lysosomes? What types of molecules would be found inside a lysosome?

Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers—proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

The cytoskeleton (cellular skeleton) gives structure to the cell and allows it to maintain its shape. "It also helps to hold cell structures such as organelles in place within the cytoplasm."

If a cell (with no dye in it) is in a solution of 10% dye molecules and the dye can cross the cell's membrane, what do you predict will happen to the dye?

The dye would move into the cell because molecules move from high to low concentration and there is less concentration in the cell.
