1. In what organelle does cellular respiration take place?
2. Name two storage organelles?
3. What is the list of organelles that take part in protein synthesis? p.176-177
4. How is the nucleus involved in protein synthesis? p.177
5. 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? p.178
6. How does the membrane of the cell differ from the nuclear membrane? What advantages does this
difference have for the nucleus? p.176
7. What do ribosomes do? Are they found freely floating in the cytoplasm? OR are they found attached
to another organelle? OR both. Explain why this occurs.
8. What does the endoplasmic reticulum do? p.177
9. What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER? What is the ER doing that is different in
each case? p.177-178

15. What is the difference between chromosomes and chromatin? What do they each have to do with
DNA? p.176

difference below. p.499 & p.501
