A spherical membrane-bound structure that contains the genetic material of the cell and is often referred to as the "command center" of the cell is the | nucleus. |
Which area of the cytoplasm near the nucleus coordinates the building and breaking of microtubules in the cell? | centrosome. |
Which of the following is not a cytoskeleton element? | centriole |
The inside of the cell is composed largely of a gel-like substance called | cytoplasm. |
This membranous organelle contains oxidase and catalase enzymes. | peroxisome |

This membranous organelle is the site of protein synthesis for proteins that are secreted by the cell. | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
Which type of junction is formed when membrane channels of adjacent plasma membranes adhere to each other? | Gap Junction |
This organelle is characterized by folded membranes called cristae. | Mitochondria |
A major function of the cell membrane is to | control what enters and leaves the cell. |

The plasma membrane is composed of all of the following except | tubulin protein. |
Ribsomes may be either free within the cytoplasm or bound to a membrane system known as the | rough endoplasmic reticulum. |
Which of the following statements about integral proteins in the plasma membrane is false? | They are more abundant by volume than the membrane phospholipids. |
Which of the following is a type of cell extension that lines the intestines and other areas of the body? | microvilli |
