|---|---|
| The cell extension that contains microfilaments is called: | Microvilli |
| The enzyme catalase is an important chemical in the functioning of the: | Peroxisomes |
| ATP production occurs within which organelle? | Mitochondrion |
| Which cell fiber serves as part of our “cellular muscles?” | Microfilament |
| Which of the following is not a function of the integral membrane proteins? | Acting as receptors Signal transduction Identification of “self” |
| Which of the following is not a function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum? | Provides a site for ribosome attachment |
| Which of the following is not true about ribosomes? | Surrounded by a membrane structure |
| Which organelle processes and packages material to be secreted? | Golgi apparatus |
| The nucleus is the only structure in the cell that contains DNA. | False |
| Projections from the cell that move materials and mucus are called: | Cilia |
| The ____ is often called the microtubule organizing center. | Centrosome |
| How do vesicles move from place to place in an organized way within the cell? | Molecular motors pull them along the microtubules and microfilaments of the cytoskeleton |
| Which of the following does not describe a structure or function of the proteasome? | Breaking down abnormal and misfolded proteins released from the ER Looks like a hollow cylindrical drum made of protein subunits Requires the small protein called ubiquitin to pull proteins in |
| Skin cells (epithelial) are held tightly together by: | Tight junctions |
| A list of the cell fibers from largest to smallest would read: | Microtubules, intermediate filaments, microfilaments. |

| Granules or threads within the nucleus are called: | Chromatin |
| The fundamental organizational unit of life is the: | Cell |
| Tiny indentations of the plasma membrane that resemble caves are called: | Caveolae |
| The identification function of the cell membrane is carried out by the: | Glycoprotein molecules |
| The inner membrane of what double-membrane structure is contorted into folds called cristae? | Mitochondrion |
