| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a double layer of phospholipids that makes up plasma and organelle membranes | phospholipid bilayer |
| in a eukaryotic cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA | chromosome |
| the double membrane that surrounds the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell | nuclear envelope |
| the part of the eukaryotic nucleus where ribosomal RNA is synthesized | nucleolus |
| a cell organelle composed of RNA and protein; the site of protein synthesis | ribosome |
| in eukaryotic cells, the cell organelle that is surrounded by two membranes and that is the site of cellular respiration, which produces ATP | mitochondrion |
| a system of membranes that is found in a cell's cytoplasm and that assists in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in the production of lipids | endoplasmic reticulum |
| cell organelle that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell | Golgi apparatus |
| a cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes and that buds from the Golgi apparatus | lysosome |
| the cytoplasmic network of protein filaments and tubes that plays an essential role in cell movement, shape, and division | cytoskeleton |
| one of the small, tubular fibers composed of the portein tubulin that are found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, that compose the cytoskeleton, and that play a role in cell structure and movement | microtubule |
| a fiber found inside eukaryotic cells that is composed mainly of the protein actin and that has a role in cell structure and movement | microfilament |
| a hairlike structure arranged in tightly packed rows that projects from the surface of some cells | cilium |
| a long, hairlike structure that grows out of a cell and enable the cell to move | flagellum |
| an organelle that is composed of two short microtubules at right angles to each other and that has an active role in mitosis | centriole |
