  2. What is the function of the nucleus? (3 marks)
    • Controls cell through the production of mRNA
    • Retain genetic material of the cell 
    • Manufactures ribosomal RNA and ribosomes

  11. What is the Golgi apparatus?
    A stack of membranes that make up cisternae, with vesicles
  12. What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?(5 marks)
    • Add carbohydrates to proteins to produce glycoprotiens
    • Produce secretory enzymes
    • Secrete Carbohydrates
    • Transport, modify and store lipids

    Golgi Apparatus
  14. What are lysosomes and how are they formed?(2 marks)
    • Vesicles containing enzymes
    • Produced by golgi apparatus
  15. What the function of a lysosome?(4 marks)
    • Break down material ingested by phagocytic cells (e.g whit blood cells)
    • Release enzymes outside of the cell in order to destroy material around it (exocytosis)
    • Digest worn out organelles so that useful chemical can be reused 
    • Break down cells after they died (autolysis)
