Cellular Organelles and Their Function

A cell makes and secretes a protein-based hormone. This particular cell would have a great amount of RER and what?

Golgi complex

Testes and ovaries that make steroids would have a larger amount of what?

SER

Muscle cells that need large amount of ATP would have what?

Mitochondria

Cells that line the small intestine are specialized for absorption and secretion. The plasma membrane structures they have to accomplish this is what?

Microvilli

Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of what?

Lysosomes

Explain the role of somatic cell division as a person ages from infancy to adulthood

During the rate of infancy, the rate of somatic cell division happens at a quicker rate. When we grow older though, mitosis begins to slow down, and that is why we stop growing at some point.

Explain the roll of cell division in wound healing

Cell division is not only used for growth, but also to replace damaged or worn out cells, so when a wound occurs, new cells replace the old damaged ones.

List the cell structures involved in mitosis

Plasma membrane, chromosomes, spindle fibers, nucleus, and centrioles

Red red blood cells undergo mitosis?

No they cannot because they do not have a nucleus, which is a main part of cell division

Which cellular organelles are membrane bound?

Nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and the Golgi apparatus

Which cellular organelles are not membrane bound?

Cytoskeleton, cilia, and flagellum
