Rationals
The gel-like substance of a cell exclusive of the nucleus and other organelles. - ANSWER: Cytoplasm
___________ Membrane that separates the contents of a cell from the tissue fluid; enclose the
cytoplasm and forms the outer boundary of the cell. - ANSWER: Plasma
Intercell organ; for example, the ribosome - ANSWER: Organelle
Spherical structure within a cell; a group of neuron cell bodies in the brain or spinal cord; central core
of the atom, made up of protons and (sometimes) neutrons. - ANSWER: Nucleus
What are the three main parts of a cell? - ANSWER: Plasma membrane, Cytoplasm, Nucleus
Phosphate-containing fat molecule. - ANSWER: Phospholipid
Cell's internal supporting, moving framework - ANSWER: Cytoskeleton
Organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that synthesizes proteins; also known as a protein factory -
ANSWER: Ribosome
Network of tubules and vesicles in cytoplasm; two types rough and smooth. - ANSWER: Endoplasmic
reticulum (ER)
Small sacs stacked on one another near the nucleus that make carbohydrate compounds, combine
them with protein molecules, - ANSWER: Golgi apparatus
Threadlike structures - ANSWER: Mitochondria
Molecule similar to adenosine triphosphate but containing only two phosphate groups. - ANSWER:
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Membranous organelles - ANSWER: Lysosomes
Programmed cell death by means of several biochemical process built into each cell; _______
clears space for newer cells, as in early embryonic development or in tissue repair. - ANSWER:
Apoptosis
Area of the cytoplasm near the nucleus that coordinates the building and breaking up of microtubules
in the cell. - ANSWER: Centrosome
One of a pair of tiny cylinders in the centrosome of a cell; believed to be involved with the spindle
fibers formed during mitosis. - ANSWER: Centriole
Brushlike border made up of epithelial cells found on each villus in the small intestine and other areas
of the body; increases the surface area (as for absorption of nutrients) - ANSWER: Microvilli
Tiny, hair like projections of cells that detect changes outside the cell; some ____ can move,
propelling mucus along a surface. - ANSWER: Cilia
Single projection extending from the cell surface; only example in humans is the "tail" of the male
sperm. - ANSWER: Flagellum
