All cells have all of the following except	endoplasmic reticulum
If a cell did not have ribosomes, it would be unable to	form proteins
The endosymbiotic theory is supported by the finding of non-nuclear DNA in which of the following organelles?	mitochondria and chloroplasts
Which of the following statements is not part of the cell theory?	Eukaryotic cells have evolved from prokaryotic cells
Peroxisomes in animal cells, and glyoxosomes in plant cells are examples of	micro bodies
Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells. Which of the following would you not find in a prokaryotic cell?	membrane bound nucleus
The most important factor that limits the size of a cell is	the surface-area-to-volume ratio of the cell

Flattened sacks of membranes apparently involved in the packaging and export of molecules synthesized in the cell are known as	Golgi bodies
The cytoplasmic space in eukaryotic cells is occupied by many diverse membrane-bound structures with specific cellular functions. These are called	organelles
The organelle involved in the oxygen-requiring process by which the energy in macromolecules is stored in ATP is the	mitochondrion
Plants often have a large membrane-bound sac that is used for storing water and other substances. This organelle is called a	central vacuole
The chromosomal hereditary material is located in this organelle in eukaryotic cells.	nucleus
Which of the following is not present in all eukaryotic cells?	centriole
The nucleolus is the site of__________.	ribosome assembly
The cell wall of fungi contains cellulose.	false
Which of the following is not true concerning microtubules?	Microtubules are the powerhouses of the cell
Which of the following is not a function of lysosomes?	allowing bacteria to pass through the cell unaffected
Actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form the cell supporting structure called the__________.	cytoskeleton
Which of the following is not associated with animal cells?	plasmodesmata
The heads of the phospholipid molecules of the plasma membrane are hydrophobic.	false
__________is the shrinking of the cytoplasm of a plant cell when it is placed in a hypertonic solution.	plasmolysis
Which of the following could not pass through the plasma membrane by simple diffusion?	amino acids
The chief energy currency of all cells is a molecule called	ATP
How are active transport and coupled (secondary active) transport related?	Coupled transport uses the concentration gradient established by active transport.
The type of diffusion that is specific and passive, and which becomes saturated if all the protein carriers are in use is	facilitated diffusion
By what process does a cell take in large, particulate matter such as a bacterium?	phagocytosis
Low density lipoproteins (LDL) molecules bring cholesterol into the cell where it can be incorporated into membranes. What type of membrane transport is used to bring LDLs into a cell?	receptor-mediated endocytosis
Which of the following statements is true?	An animal cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink.
The movement of a solute from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration without the aid of a protein carrier is called	facilitated diffusion
Which of the following protein classes are not found as membrane proteins?	hormones
__________is defined as the energy of motion.	kinetic energy
The First Law of Thermodynamics simply states that	energy cannot be created or destroyed, just changed from one form to another.
The type of membrane transport that requires specific protein carrier molecules and energy to move substances against their concentration gradient is	active transport
Protein catalysts that speed up the various metabolic biological reactions in an organism are called	enzymes
The inorganic non-protein components that participate in enzyme catalysis are known as	cofactors
As energy is being converted through the many forms, it is continuously lost as	heat
Which of the following statements is not true about enzymes?	Enzymes function best at very high temperatures.
