Cell Features
Which cell feature is responsible for making proteins?
Ribosomes
What is the name of the jelly-like substance that is inside the cell?
cytoplasm
layer of two membranes that surrounds the nucleus of a cell
Nuclear Envelope
cytoplasm
Water leaves the cell, causing it to shrink. What solution is this?
Hypertonic
What cell feature is responsible for powering the cell?
Mitochondria
a single-celled organism that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
prokaryote
proteins that have carbohydrates covalently attached to them
glycoproteins
These protein structures help with cell division in animal cells.
centrioles
The movement of substances from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
Passive Transport
What cell feature contains digestive enzymes which breaks things down?
lysosomes
a cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
eukaryote
organelle where ribosomes are made, synthesized and partially assembled, located in the nucleus
nucleolus
Which process increases the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane to protons?
uncoupling protein application
This process allows molecules to move down their concentration gradient without any input.
Diffusion
Which cell feature processes proteins?
Golgi Apparatus
thin flexible barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell; composed of two layers of lipids
plasma membrane
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
What could be deduced about a plant cell observed under microscope that contains numerous large central vacuoles?
They are storing water
The pressure exerted by water inside a plant cell's central vacuole.
Turgor pressure
Which cell feature is responsible for transporting proteins?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
a jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
cytoplasm/cytosol
a netlike array of protein filaments lining the inner surface of the nuclear envelope
Nuclear lamina
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.
A solution where there is no net movement of water because concentrations are equal.
isotonic
