Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Golgi apparatus is usually made up of five to eight cup-shaped, membrane-covered stacks of discs called cisternae (singular, cisterna ), as shown in Figure below . Both plant and animal cells have a Golgi apparatus. A typical mammalian cell will have 40 to 80 of these stacks. While plant cells can have up to several hundred Golgi stacks scattered throughout the cytoplasm. In plants, the Golgi apparatus contains enzymes that synthesize some of the cell wall polysaccharides. Q: Which organelle is made up of 5 to eight cup shaped, membrane covered stacks of discs known as cisternae? Choices: - vacuole - nucleus - endoplasmic reticulum - golgi apparatus A:
golgi apparatus

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The cell wall is located outside the cell membrane. It consists mainly of cellulose and may also contain lignin, which makes it more rigid. The cell wall shapes, supports, and protects the cell. It prevents the cell from absorbing too much water and bursting. It also keeps large, damaging molecules out of the cell. Q: Where is the cell wall located? Choices: - in cell membrane - in the chloroplast - in the mitochondria - outside cell membrane A:
outside cell membrane
