  • What component is found in all cells?
    Cytoplasm
  • It surrounds the cell and controls which substances move in and out (selectively permeable) and are embedded by proteins in a lipid bilayer or attached to one of its surfaces to carry out membrane functions.
    Plasma membrane
  • It is a jellylike mixture of water, sugars, ions, and proteins that is a site of some or all of the cell's metabolism.
    Cytoplasm
  • It is the structure that carries out a specialized metabolic function inside a cell.
    Organelle
  • It is a mosaic of proteins and lipids (mainly phospholipids) that functions as a selectively permeable barrier separating an internal environment from an external one.
    Cell membrane
  • It is a cell membrane that can be considered a two-dimensional fluid of mixed composition.
    Fluid Mosaic Model
  • What type of membrane protein fastens cells together or external proteins that connect protein filaments inside the cell with external filaments in animal tissues?
    Adhesion proteins
  • What type of membrane protein triggers a change in cellular activity in response to a stimulus such as binding to a particular substance that occurs on cells of the immune system?
    Receptor proteins
  • What type of membrane protein is part of a membrane-bound set of molecules that together break down drugs and other organic toxins?
    Enzymes
  • What type of membrane protein binds the molecules on one side of the membrane, releases them on the other side, and transports glucose?
    Transport proteins
  • It is the smallest and most metabolically diverse life that is commonly found in domains of bacteria and archaea and inhabits nearly all regions of the biosphere.
    Prokaryotes
  • It is a circular DNA molecule in a nucleoid region that may contain additional genes as plasmids.
    Cytoplasm
  • It consists of peptides and polysaccharides (in bacteria) or proteins (in archaeans) and is semirigid but permeable structures that surround the plasma membrane of some cells.
    Cell wall
  • It is a community of different types of microorganisms living within a shared mass of slime.
    Biofilms
  • It protects and controls access to the cell's DNA.
    Nucleus
  • It is a double membrane that constitutes the outer boundary of the nucleus.
    Nuclear envelope
  • It is a series of interacting organelles between the nucleus and plasma membrane, makes and modifies lipids and proteins, and recycles molecules and particles such as worn-out cell parts along with inactivating toxins.
    Endomembrane system
  • It is a continuous system of sacs and tubes that is an extension of the nuclear envelope.
    Endoplasmic reticulum
  • What is the type of endoplasmic reticulum that is studded with ribosomes (for protein production)?
    Rough endoplasmic reticulum
  • What type of endoplasmic reticulum that has no ribosomes?
    Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
  • It is a small, membrane-enclosed, and saclike organelle that stores, transports, or degrades its contents.
    Vesicle
  • It is a fluid-filled organelle that isolates or disposes of wastes, debris, or toxic materials.
    Vacuole
  • It is a vesicle with enzymes for intracellular digestion.
    Lysosome
  • It is an enzyme-filled vesicle that breaks down amino acids, fatty acids, and toxic substances.
    Peroxisome
  • It is an organelle that modifies polypeptides and lipids and also sorts and packages the finished products into transport vesicles.
    Golgi body
  • It is a double-membraned organelle that produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
    Mitochondrion
  • It is an organelle of photosynthesis for coloring substances.
    Chloroplasts
  • It supports, organizes, and moves eukaryotic cells and their internal structures.
    Protein filaments
  • It is a dynamic system of protein filaments and interacts with accessory proteins, such as motor proteins.
    Cytoskeleton
  • It is the cytoskeletal elements involved in movement and the hollow filaments of tubulin subunits.
    Microtubules
  • It is the reinforcing cytoskeletal elements and fibers of actin subunits.
    Microfilaments
  • It is the cytoskeletal elements that lock cells and tissues together.
    Intermediate filaments
