| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| property of the plasma membrane that allows it to control movement of substances into or out of the cell | selective permeability |
| plasma membrane layers composed of phospholipid molecules arranged with polar heads facing the outside and nonpolar tails facing the inside | phospholipid bilayer |
| protein that moves substances or wastes through the plasma membrane | transport protein |
| a plama membrane with components constantly in motion, sliding past one another within the lipid bilayer | fluid mosaic model |
| semifluid material inside the cell's plasma membrane | cytoplasm |
| supporting network of protein fibers that provide a framework for the cell within the cytoplasm | cytoskeleton |
| simple cell organelle that helps manufacture proteins | ribosome |
| the site of ribosome production within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells | nucleolus |
| highly folded membrane system in eukaryotic cells that is the site for protein and lipid synthesis | endoplasmic reticulum |
| flattened stack of tubular membranes that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into vesicles and transports them to other organelles or out of the cell | Golgi apparatus |
| membrane-bound vesicle for temporary storage of materials such as food, enzymes, and wastes | vacuole |
| vesicle that uses enzymes to digest excess or worn-out cellular substances | lysosome |
| organelle that plays a role in cell division and is made of microtubules | centriole |
| membrane-bound organelle that converts fuel into energy that is available to the rest of the cell | mitochondrion |
| double-membrane organelle that captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy through photosynthesis | chloroplast |
| in plants, the rigid barrier that surrounds the outside of the plasma membrane, is made of cellulose and provides support and protection to the cell | cell wall |
| short, hair-like projection that functions in cell movement | cilium |
| long, tail-like projection with whip-like or propeller motion that helps a cell move | flagellum |
