As the surface area of a cell increases, then the volume _______.
Increases
This organelle is found in plant cells, but not animal cells.
Chloroplast
This is the structure that helps support and protect an animal cell.
Cytoskeleton
These are the basic unit of life.
Cells
The function of the secondary cell wall is this.
Reinforce the primary cell wall.
As surface area of a cell increases, the SA:V ratio _______.
Decreases
This type of ER helps with protein synthesis.
Rough ER
This is the substance found between plant cells that functions as "super glue."
Middle lamella
These type of cells make up the linings of the cavities in the body.
Epithelial
This is the process of bringing something into the cell.
It is more desirable for a cell to have a _______ SA:V ratio.
Large
This organelle is the...
Golgi apparatus
This is the site of oxidative respiration.
Mitochondria
These are the four basic types of tissues.
Connective, muscle, epithelial, and nervous
This theorized that prokaryotes came to live together in a symbiotic relationship, eventually evolving into eukaryotic cells over several generations.
Endosymbiotic theory
A cell has to be large enough to contain these things.
DNA, ribosomes, and cytoplasm
This organelle is involved in digestion and recycling of materials in the cell.
Lysosome
Bound ribosomes make proteins that are mostly used for this purpose.
Communication between cells
This is the main function of erythrocytes.
Transport oxygen throughout the body
These are the two principle types of microscopes that are used today for studying cells.
Light microscopes and electron microscopes
Some cells need to be large because of their specific functions. This shape is most desirable for these larger cells.
Long, cylindrical
This organelle functions in...
RNA synthesis
The nuclear envelope is mainly made of this type of membrane.
Phospholipid bilayer
Stem cells have this particular trait.
Pluripotent
These are the main parts of eukaryotic cells.
Plasma membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm
