Which process is occurring when a vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and releases its contents outside the cell?

endocytosis

Which process requires no energy from the cell?

endocytosis

A solution that is hypotonic to a cell has

fewer solutes than the cell

Which of the following is a major principle upon which cell theory is based?

All organisms are made of cells.

Which labeled structure is the site of photosynthesis?

Chloroplast

Identify the type of cell shown in Figure 3.1

Eukaryotic

Identify part A and explain how it contributes to the structure and shape of the cell.

Part A is Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm protects the genetic material of the cell. It protects the other parts like Mitochondria and Ribosomes.

Name the type of cell shown on the right side of the diagram.

Plant cell

Describe what is shown in Figure 3.3.

The different parts in a plant and animal cell.

Which organelles are unique to plant cells?

chloroplasts

Which organelles contain enzymes that break down old cell parts?

lysosomes

Which organelles supply energy to the cell?

mitochondria

Which organelle is the storehouse for most of a cell's genetic information?

nucleus

Transport proteins play a role in both

passive and active transport

Which process occurs inside the chloroplasts?

photosynthesis

A protein that detects a signal molecule and performs an action in response is called a

receptor

Which phrase best describes rough ER?

studded with ribosomes

Which organelles are involved in the process called endocytosis?

vesicles
