The nucleus - ANSWER-is essential for function and survival of the cell.
Mitochondria - ANSWER-are known as the power plants of the cell because they
extract energy from organic compounds.
Cell plasma membrane - ANSWER-is formed by a lipid bilayer, with specific
membrane functions carried out by bound and transmembrane proteins.
Cell-to-cell communication - ANSWER-utilizes chemical messenger systems that
release secretions into extracellular fluid.
Aerobic metabolism - ANSWER-provides energy by combining hydrogen and
oxygen to form water.
Exocytosis - ANSWER-is important in removing cellular debris and releasing
synthesized substances into the extracellular fluid.
Membrane potentials - ANSWER-are generated and conducted by diffusion of
current-carrying ions.
Epithelial tissues - ANSWER-are classified according to the shape of the cells and
the number of layers.
,Simple epithelium - ANSWER-is a type of epithelial tissue where cells are in
contact with intercellular matrix; some do not extend to surface.
Stratified epithelium - ANSWER-is a type of epithelial tissue with a single layer of
cells; all cells rest on basement membrane.
Glandular epithelium - ANSWER-arises from surface epithelia and underlying
connective tissue.
Pseudostratified epithelium - ANSWER-is a type of epithelial tissue with multiple
layers of cells; the deepest layer rests on basement membrane.
Fibroblasts - ANSWER-in connective tissue are responsible for the synthesis of
collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers.
Smooth muscle - ANSWER-is also known as involuntary muscle and differs by
having dense bodies attached to actin filaments.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) - ANSWER-performs the function of providing the site
where protein synthesis occurs.
Lysosomes - ANSWER-are organelles responsible for the breakdown and removal
of foreign substances and worn-out cell parts.
,Peroxisomes - ANSWER-are involved in the impairment of cellular functions when
their function is compromised.
Protein synthesis - ANSWER-involves copying and carrying DNA instructions.
Calcium bonds - ANSWER-are stored in mitochondria for muscle contractions.
Cell gap junctions - ANSWER-accumulate chemical messengers for effective
signaling.
Ion channel neurotransmission - ANSWER-is responsible for generating and
conducting membrane potentials.
Collagen - ANSWER-is synthesized by fibroblasts in connective tissue.
Cellular debris - ANSWER-is removed by exocytosis.
ATP - ANSWER-is involved in aerobic metabolism by having its phosphate bonds
removed.
Inability to transport cellular products - ANSWER-an inability to transport cellular
products across the cell membrane.
Insufficient energy production - ANSWER-insufficient energy production within a
cell.
, Accumulation of free radicals - ANSWER-accumulation of free radicals in the
cytoplasm.
Decreased sperm motility - ANSWER-a finding that is thought to underlie the
couples inability to become pregnant.
Defective cellular components in sperm - ANSWER-Ribosomes, Microtubules,
Mitochondria, Microfilaments.
True statement of glycolysis - ANSWER-Glycolysis occurs in cells without
mitochondria.
Membrane transport mechanisms energy requirement - ANSWER-Vesicular
transport requires the greatest amount of energy.
Glucose transport in diabetes - ANSWER-Facilitated diffusion would best allow
glucose to cross cell membranes.
True statements about skeletal muscle cells - ANSWER-Skeletal muscle is
multinucleated, lacking true cell boundaries.
Body tissues with highest turnover rate - ANSWER-The squamous epithelial cells
of the skin.
