Glycoprotein— Ans: protein with carbohydrate attached
Glycolipid— Ans: lipid with carbohydrate attached
What has selective permeability with regard to size, charge, and
solubility?— Ans: cell membrane or plasma membrane
Selective permeability— Ans: allows what goes in and outside of
the cell
Which two small molecules typically can pass through the cell
membrane?— Ans: oxygen and water
Molecules that are soluble in phospholipids can usually?— Ans:
pass through the cell membrane
Many molecules are not able to diffuse the cell membrane. How
can they be moved?— Ans: active transport and vesicle
Ribosomes— Ans: involved in synthesizing proteins from amino
acids. They are numerous making up about one quarter of the

Vacuoles— Ans: sacs used for storage, digestion, and waste
removal.
Vesicles— Ans: vehicle that helps move materials within a cell.
Cytoskeleton— Ans: consists of microtubules that help shape and
support the cell
Microtubules— Ans: part of the cytoskeleton and help support
the cell. They're made of protein.
Cytosol— Ans: liquid material in the cell. Mostly water, but also
contains floating molecules
Cytoplasm— Ans: refers to cytosol and the substructures
(organelles) found within the plasma membrane, but not within

the nucleus
Cell Membrane (plasma membrane)— Ans: defines the cell by
acting as a barrier.

Functions of cell membrane— Ans: Helps keep cytoplasm in and
substances located outside the cell out. Determines what is
allowed to enter and exit.
Endoplasmic reticulum— Ans: tubular network that consists of the
transport system of a cell
What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum and what is the
difference between the two?— Ans: rough and smooth. Rough
ER has ribosomes and Smooth ER does not.
Mitochondria— Ans: performs various functions such as
generating ATP (energy), and is involved in cell growth and death.
The 4 functions of the Mitochondria are?— Ans: 1. Production of
cell energy (ATP)
2. Cell signaling
3. Cellular differentiation
4. Cell cycle and growth regulation
Aerobic respiration occurs in the?— Ans: mitochondria

The mitochondria consists of an inner and outer membrane•
Between the inner and outer membranes are folds called?— Ans:
cristae
Centrosome— Ans: comprised of the pair of centrioles located at
right angles to each other and surround by protein.
The centrosome is involved in which cell divisions?— Ans: mitosis
and cell cycle
Centriole— Ans: cylinder shaped structures near the nucleus that
are involved in cellular division.
Lysosome— Ans: Digests proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and
transports undigested substances to the cell membrane so they

can be removed.
Cilia— Ans: appendages extending from the surface of the cell,
which causes the cell to move. They can also result in fluid being

moved by the cell
Flagella— Ans: These are tail-like structures that use whip-like
movements to help the cell move.
Cell cycle— Ans: process by which a cell reproduces, which
involves cell growth, duplication of genetic material, and cell
division.
What are the two ways that cells can reproduce?— Ans: mitosis
and meiosis
Mitosis involves which kind of cells?— Ans: body cells
Meiosis involves which kind of cells?— Ans: sex cells or gametes
Cell differentiation— Ans: process that helps to determine the
cell type for each cell
Process is controlled by the genes of each cell among a group of
cells called a— Ans: zygote
Stages of mitosis— Ans: 1. Interphase
2. Prophase
3. Metaphase
