, chloroplast - Correct answer-you would NOT expect to find this in animals cells
the cell membrane (a bilipid layer) - Correct answer-the boundary of all cells
(including plants and animals), which controls movement in and out of the cell
passive transport - Correct answer-the movement of molecules across the cell
membrane NOT requiring energy to be supplied by the cell
vacuoles - Correct answer-the "garbage cans" of the cell
cytology - Correct answer-the study of cells
cytoplasm - Correct answer-this is NOT found in the nucleus
controls most of the cell's processes; stores DNA; contains the information needed
to make proteins - Correct answer-these are functions of the nucleus
cell membrane - Correct answer-a thin, flexible barrier that serves as the cell's
boundary from its environment
Robert Hook - Correct answer-The individual responsible for first seeing cells and
giving them that name
