| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This organelle has both a cis and a trans face | Golgi apparatus |
| Which of the following statements about integral proteins in the plasma membrane is false? | They are more abundant by volume than the membrane phospholipids |
| Cisternae of this organelle are continuous with the nuclear envelope. | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
| The inside of the cell is composed largely of a gel-like substance called | cytoplasm |

| This membranous organelle is the site of protein synthesis for proteins that are secreted by the cell. | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
| This organelle is characterized by folded membranes called cristae. | mitochondria |
| This organelle is primarily a sac of powerful digestive enzymes called acid hydrolases. | lysosome |
| Ribosomes may be either free within the cytoplasm or bound to a membrane system known as the | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
| Which of the following cytoskeleton elements are the largest in diameter? | microtubules |
| Of the following, the only organelle that has a double membrane structure is the | mitochondrion |
| The outer boundary of a human cell is called the | plasma membrane |

| Which type of junction is formed when membrane channels of adjacent plasma membranes adhere to each other? | gap junction |
| This organelle primarily modifies products from the rough ER, and it resembles a stack of hollow saucers, one cupped inside the next. | Golgi apparatus |
| 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 |
