Which of the following is not a main cellular structure?
plasma membrane
interstitial fluid
cytoplasm (including organelles)
nucleus
All of the following are examples of the plasma membrane function except:
boundary of cell
self-identification
receptor sites
"power plants" of cell
Production of ATP occurs within which organelle?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
lysosomes
mitochondria
Preparation of protein molecules for cellular exportation is the function of which of the following organelles?
microvilli
peroxisomes
In nondividing cells DNA appears as threads that are referred to as
chromatin
nucleoplasm
nucleolus
none of the above
The nucleolus is composed chiefly of
DNA
rRNA
tRNA
The process by which cells translate the signal received by a membrane receptor into a specific chemical change in the cell is called signal transportation
Each and every cell has one nucleus.
Generally, the more active a cell is, the more mitochondria it will contain.
Membranous bags that temporarily contain molecules for transport or later use are known as peroxisomes.
❌: forms ribosomes ❌: separates the cell from its environment ❌: acts as the cell's "digestive system" ❌: acts as a "protein factory" ❌: contains organelle ❌: contains DNA ❌: act as "power plants" of the cell ❌: classified as both smooth and rough
is the cell's internal supporting framework.
are the smallest cell fibers.
The thickest of the cell fibers are tiny, hollow tubes called .
The is an area of they cytoplasm near the nucleus that coordinates the building and breaking of microtubules in the cell.
, , and are cell extensions that appear on certain types of cells.
When membrane channels of adjacent plasma membranes connect to others, the formation is known as .
hold skin together.
Which of the following cellular extensions are required when absorption is important?
cilia
flagella
Movement of the ovum within the female reproductive tract is largely as a result of
the flagella extending from the ovum
the cilia extending from the ovum
the cilia lining the uterine tubes
Skin cells are held tightly together by
gap junctions
desmososomes
tight junctions
adhesions
Ribosomes are attached to
rough endoplasmic reticulum
The phospholipid area of the plasma membrane of a cell is
single layered
bilayered
trilayered
multilayered
❌: detect changes in the environment ❌: contract for movement ❌: transport oxygen ❌: release hormones ❌: destroy bacteria
A typical, or cell exhibits the most important characteristics of cell types.
is the term meaning "water-loving"
is the process that allows a message to be carried across a membrane.
detoxify harmful substances that enter cells.
The is one of the largest cell structures and occupies the central portion of the cell.
Embedded within the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane are a variety of .
Peroxisomes are small membranous sacs containing enzymes that detoxify harmful substances that enter the cells.
Dynein, myosin, and kinesin are examples of proteases.
Microfilaments serve as "cellular muscles".
All cells contain thousands of ribosomes.
