The semifluid matrix that surrounds organelles in a cell is called the
cytoplasm
Eukaryotes show organization of tightly packaged chromosomal DNA with proteins into a membrane-bound structure called a
nucleus
The organelle that can collect, package, modify, and transport molecules is called the
Golgi apparatus
Many antibiotics kill bacteria because they hinder translation by prokaryotic _________.
ribosomes
The evolutionary process that created chloroplasts and mitochondria is
endosymbiosis
Microfilaments such as actin, microtubules, and the intermediate filaments form the cell-supporting structure called the
cytoskeleton
Small cells function more effectively, because as cells become larger their surface area to volume ratio:
decreases
Organelles that breakdown hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen are
peroxisomes
A circular molecule of DNA devoid of any histone proteins describes the chromosome of
bacteria
Who first described cells?
Hooke
Schleiden and Schwann stated the "cell theory," which in its modern form says
all organisms are composed of one or more cells
Chromosomal hereditary material can be packaged in this organelle in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells.
nucleus
Prokaryotic cell movement is attributed to:
flagella
Photosynthetic pigments in bacteria are located in the:
plasma membrane
Plant cells often have a large membrane-bound sac that is used for storing water and other substances called a:
central vacuole
This cellular structure lacks a membrane:
nucleoid
Some of the functions of the eukaryotic organelles are performed in bacteria by the:
plasma membrane
The cytoplasmic space in eukaryotic cells occupied by membrane-bound structures with specific cellular functions called:
organelles
Ribosomes are made up of:
protein and RNA
Organelle that is directly involved in the transport of proteins synthesized on the surface of the rough ER:
Golgi body
In eukaryotes, mitochondria are the organelles primarily involved in:
energy release/capture
Nuclear pores permit the passage of all the following except:
DNA molecules only outward
The nucleolus is the site of:
ribosome assembly
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the other organelles besides the nucleus that contain:
DNA
Organelle involved in oxygen-requiring process where energy harvested from macromolecules is used to generate ATP:
mitochondria
Cilia and flagella of eukaryotic cells are composed of:
microtubules in a 9 + 2 arrangement
The distinctive feature of chloroplasts is that they contain a green pigment called:
chlorophyll
A spider mite seems to be the habitat of an even smaller mite, which is about 0.05mm. Which microscope would you use?
binocular compound light microscope
Why is does the endoplasmic reticulum of each cell appear rough?
This tissue exports proteins to other areas of the body
Plants, fungi and bacterial all have:
cell walls
If you could create an artificial cell, what cellular structures must you include?
ribosomes
