Prokaryotes lack these internal membrane-bound compartments.

What are organelles?

100

Solute moving across a cell membrane from high concentration to low concentration without the assistance of a protein.

What is simple diffusion?

100

A meshwork of protein fibers that function in cell support, movement of the cell, and of structures within the cell.

What is the cytoskeleton?

100

The process whereby water flows across the cell membrane.

What is osmosis?

He discovered a zone of inhibition on a petri dish where bacteria did not grow due to the presence of mold.

Who was Alexander Fleming?

200

The 2 Domains that make up all of the Prokaryotes.

What are Bacteria and Archaea?

200

The shrinking of a cell occurs when it is placed in a solution with this type of tonicity.

What is a hypertonic solution?

200

A structure within the cell that is synonymous with the stomach.

What is a lysosome?

200

A solution that contains less solute than the cell itself.

What is a hypotonic solution?

200

Penicillin doesn't harm human cells because it preferentially targets this structure unique to bacteria. 

What is the cell wall?

300

Of the following structures, this one is not found in prokaryotes:  plasma membrane, ribosomes, lysosomes, DNA. 

What are lysosomes?

300

The instructions for making proteins that is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

What is DNA?

300

The structure within a cell where proteins are made and packaged for transport to other cellular structures.

What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?

300

The main component of the plasma membrane that make it selectively permeable, only small hydrophobic substances to enter or leave.

What are phospholipids?

300

The bacterial type that is hard to kill by Penicillin due to an extra lipid layer around the cell wall. 

What is gram-negative bacteria?

400

What is the cell wall?

400

Responsible for protein synthesis, found located on the ER in eukaryotic cells and floating the the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.

What are ribosomes?

400

The place in the cell where sugars are converted to ATP.

What is a mitochondrion?

400

Proteins that allow certain large molecules, polar molecules, or ions to move across the cell membrane.

500

The cellular structure where proteins receive their final modifications before being transported to their destination.

What is the Golgi Apparatus?

500

A type of movement across the cell membrane that requires the aide of a protein.

What is facilitated diffusion?
