Which of the following transport process uses secretory vesicles formed in Golgi
complex to release their contents out of the cell membrane into the extracellular
space? - ans -exocytosis
Spermatozoa is the only type of human cell that contains a , which is a
whip-like structure that helps propel the sperm towards an oocyte. - ans -
flagellum
Which of the following membrane-enclosed organelles modifies, sorts, and
packages proteins destined for other regions of the cell? - ans -Golgi complex
The major function of mitochondria is to - ans -generate ATP.
This structure binds to an amino acid and holds it in place on a ribosome until it is
incorporated into a polypeptide chain during translation. - ans -tRNA
What are the three main parts of a eukaryotic cell? - ans -plasma membrane,
cytoplasm, nucleus
Which of the following types of membrane proteins function by recognizing and
binding to hormones and neurotransmitters? - ans -receptors
Plasma membranes are , which means that some chemicals move easily
through plasma membrane while other chemicals do not. - ans -selectively
permeable
During this phase of cell division, the centromeres split leading to separation and
subsequent migration of the two members of a chromatid pair to opposite poles
,of the cells. The cleavage furrow also begins to develop during this phase. - ans -
interphase

excess interstitial fluid in the brain. - ans -hypertonic
What other organelle besides the nucleus contain DNA? - ans -mitochondrion
Which of the following membrane-enclosed organelles contains several oxidases
that are involved in oxidation of fatty acids and amino acids during normal
metabolism and in detoxification of chemicals like alcohol in the liver? - ans -
peroxisomes
During this phase of cell division, organelles duplicate and centrosome replication
begins - ans -interphase
Mitosis is: - ans -produces two identical cells
Phagocytosis is the mechanism of action of this cell of the immune system to
protect from microbes: - ans -Macrophages
The three types of subatomic particles that are important for understanding
chemical reactions in the human body are - ans -protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Epithelial tissue - ans -is used as a covering of body surfaces, is used as a lining of
body cavities and hollow organs, is used to form glands, usually has a free surface
that interacts with external environment **e) All of these answer choices are
