100

What is the name of the jelly-like substance that is inside the cell?

cytoplasm

100

layer of two membranes that surrounds the nucleus of a cell

Nuclear Envelope

100
This jelly like substance fills the space between the cell membrane and organelles.

cytoplasm

100

Water leaves the cell, causing it to shrink. What solution is this?

Hypertonic

200

What cell feature is responsible for powering the cell?

Mitochondria

200

a single-celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles

prokaryote

200

proteins that have carbohydrates covalently attached to them

glycoproteins

200

These protein structures help with cell division in animal cells.

centrioles

200

The movement of substances from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Passive Transport

300

What cell feature contains digestive enzymes which breaks things down?

lysosomes

300

a cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

eukaryote

300

organelle where ribosomes are made, synthesized and partially assembled, located in the nucleus

nucleolus

300

Which process increases the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane to protons?

uncoupling protein application

300

This process allows molecules to move down their concentration gradient without any input.

Diffusion

400

Which cell feature processes proteins?

Golgi Apparatus

400

thin flexible barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell; composed of two layers of lipids

plasma membrane

400

combination of DNA and protein molecules, in the form of long, thin fibers, making up the genetic material in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell

chromatin

400

What could be deduced about a plant cell observed under microscope that contains numerous large central vacuoles?

They are storing water

400

The pressure exerted by water inside a plant cell's central vacuole. 

Turgor pressure

500

Which cell feature is responsible for transporting proteins?

Endoplasmic Reticulum

500

a jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended

cytoplasm/cytosol

500

a netlike array of protein filaments lining the inner surface of the nuclear envelope

Nuclear lamina

500

Which type of protein is primarily responsible for facilitating the diffusion of specific polar molecules across a cell membrane?

Integral proteins.

Explanation: They form channels or carriers that allow certain polar substances to cross membranes via facilitated diffusion.

500

A solution where there is no net movement of water because concentrations are equal.

isotonic
