Question

A specialized structure within a cell that has its own specific function is known as a/an _______.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is known for the _______ that adhere to it and help to produce proteins.
Cellular DNA is stored in the _______, an organelle that also acts as the brain of the cell and directs all cellular activity.
The _______ kingdom, one of the six kingdoms of life, is known for its ability to survive in extreme environments.
The plasma membrane found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is composed of a/an _______, which is semipermeable and controls the flow of molecules into and out of the cell.
Whereas lysosomes are primarily involved with the breakdown of proteins and polysaccharides, _______ are involved in lipid and fat breakdown.
Respond to the following based on your reading.

1. organelle

2. ribosomes

3. nucleus

4. Archaea

5. phospholipid bilayer

6. peroxisomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Organnelle

Ribosomes

Nucleus

Archaeabacteria

Phospholipid bilayer

Lipases

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Organnelles are specialized structures in a cell designed to perform a particular function that will make the cell normal e.g. ribosome, Chloroplast, mitochondrion are examples of organnelles.

2. The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) is one of the two endomembranous systems in the cell. It is characterized by its rough appearance which occurs as a result of ribosomes attached to its surface. This attachment of ribosomes makes its function related to protein synthesis.

3. Nucleus is a membrane bound organnelle found only in EUKARYOTIC cells. It houses the genetic material (DNA) of a cell and acts as the brain by directing all of the cellular activity of that cell.

4. Archaeabacteria is one of the six kingdoms in the hierarchical classification of living organisms. They contain unicellular and prokaryotic organisms that are uniquely characterized by their ability to survive extreme conditions e.g high temperature.

5. The plasma membrane is an outer covering that bounds the cells of both Prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. According to the fluid mosaic model that describes the structure of the cell membrane, it contains a phospholipid layer that confines its selective permeability upon it i.e. ability to control what goes in and out of the cell. This is due to the amphipathic nature of the phospholipid i.e. contains an hydrophobic and hydrophilic region.

6. Lipases are enzymes that are involved specifically in the breakdown of lipids and fat molecules into fatty acids and glycerol.
