Lysosome

cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell

cell theory

idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells

organelles

The endomembrane system is a coordinated system of ______ in eukaryotic cells. Multiple choice question.

Cytoskeleton

A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement

Centrosome

A structure in animal cells containing centrioles from which the spindle fibers develop.

Golgi apparatus

A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell

ribosomes

The nucleolus is a dense spot in the nucleus where components of ______ are assembled.

cytoplasm

The two-layered nuclear envelope separates the nucleus of a cell from the Multiple choice question.

What is a network of sacs and tubules extending off the nuclear envelope and is where proteins and lipids are produced?

cytoskeleton

What is the network of protein fibers and tubules inside the cell that provides support and aids in cell division and movement?

peroxisome

What organelle protects all eukaryotic cells from toxic substances or toxic by-products of chemical reactions?

central vacuole

What plant cell organelle can occupy up to 90% of the cell volume and can exert turgor pressure against the cell membrane when it acquires water?

light microscope

What type of microscope passes light through a transparent or thinly sliced specimen to generate true-color views of cells?

nuclear pore

a protein-lined channel in the nuclear envelope that regulates the transportation of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm

The original three components of the cell theory are that all organisms

are made of one or more cells, the cell is the fundamental unit of life, and all cells come from preexisting cells.
