Adults and Children Questions with Correct
Answers A+
Metabolic Absorption - Cells taking in and using nutrients from surroundings.
Genetic Information - Includes RNA and DNA, mostly found in the nucleus.
Mitochondria - Organelle responsible for energy production in cells.
Ribosome - Cellular structure involved in protein synthesis.
Nucleolus - Substructure of the nucleus involved in ribosome production.
Lysosome - Function as the intracellular digestive system.
Peroxisomes - Produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by using oxygen to remove hydrogen atoms
from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction.
Ribosomes - Provide sites for cellular protein synthesis.
Endosome - A vesicle that has been pinched off from the cellular membrane.
, Golgi complex - A network of flattened, smooth vesicles and membranes often located near the
cell nucleus.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum - Involved in steroid hormone production and removing toxic
substances from the cell.
Antidiuretic hormone - Leads to increased retention of water in the body.
DNA synthesis - Occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.
Proteins - Facilitate transportation across cell membranes by acting as receptors, transport
channels for electrolytes, and enzymes to drive active pumps.
Proteolytic cascades - Understanding these steps may be useful in designing drug therapy for
autoimmune and malignant disorders.
Plasma membrane - Prevents water-soluble molecules from entering cells across the lipid
bilayer.
Absolute refractory period - During this period of the action potential, no stimulus is able to
evoke another response from the cell.
