●● Eukaryotic cells are larger and have :
Answer: membrane bound intracellular compartments and organelles
and a well-defined nucleus.
●● In Eukaryotic cells the genetic information is contained in:
Answer: several or many chromosomes.
●● Prokaryotes include:
Answer: blue-green algae, bacteria, and rickettsiae.
●● Prokaryotes contain:
Answer: no organelles and their nucleus is not well defined, with genetic
information contained in a single circular chromosome.
●● Cells become specialized through the process of:
Answer: differentiation, or maturation, so that they perform one kind of
function.
,●● The eight specialized cellular functions are:
Answer: movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion,
excretion, respiration, reproduction, and communication.
●● The eukaryotic cell consists of three general components:
Answer: the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, and the intracellular
organelles.
●● The nucleus is the largest membrane-bound :
Answer: organelle and is found usually in the cell's center.
●● The chief functions of the nucleus are:
Answer: Cell division and control of genetic information.
●● Cytoplasm, or the cytoplasmic matrix, is:
Answer: an aqueous solution or cytosol, that fills the space between the
nucleus and the plasma membrane. It represents about half of the
volume of the cell.
●● The organelles are suspended in the:
Answer: cytoplasm and are enclosed in biologic membranes.
●● Ribosomes are:
, Answer: RNA-protein complexes that provide sites for cellular protein
synthesis.
●● The endoplasmic reticulum is a
Answer: network of tubular channels or cisternae that extend throughout
the outer nuclear membrane.
●● The endoplasmic reticulum specializes in the:
Answer: synthesis, folding, and transport of protein and lipid
components of most of the organelles, as well as in sensing cellular
stress.
●● The Golgi complex is a network of:
Answer: smooth membranes and vesicles located near the nucleus.
●● The Golgi complex is responsible for:
Answer: processing and packaging proteins into secretory vesicles that
break away from the Golgi complex and migrate to a variety of
intracellular and extracellular destinations, including the plasma
membrane.
●● Lysosomes are saclike structures that contain:
