2026 TESTED ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ The eight specialized cellular functions are.
Answer: movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion,
excretion, respiration, reproduction, communication
⩥ Eukaryotic cells.
Answer: Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by
membranes.
⩥ The eukaryotic cell consists of three general components.
Answer: plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and intracellular organelles
⩥ Nucleus.
Answer: A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for
growth and reproduction
⩥ Vaults.
Answer: cytoplasmic organelles that are carrying messengers of
ribonucleic acid (mRNA) from the nucleus to the ribosomal sites of
protein synthesis
, ⩥ plasma membrane (cell membrane).
Answer: It's function is to protect the cell and control what goes in and
out. It is not a solid structure. It is made of millions of smaller molecules
so it is flexible and porous (allows things to pass through it).
⩥ cellular receptors.
Answer: protein molecules on the plasma membrane, in the cytoplasm,
or in the nucleus that can recognize and bind with specific smaller
molecules called ligands
⩥ Ligands.
Answer: A molecule that binds specifically to a receptor site of another
molecule.
⩥ Cells are held together by three different means:.
Answer: (1) the extracellular membrane, (2) cell adhesion molecules in
the cell's plasma membrane, and (3) specialized cell junctions.
⩥ Cells communicate in three main ways.
Answer: (1) they form protein channels (gap junctions); (2)
they display receptors that affect intracellular processes or other cells in
direct physical
contact; and (3) they use receptor proteins inside the target cell.
