They are the sites where autophagy occurs.

What is the difference between "free" ribosomes and "attached" ribosomes?

a. Free ribosomes are in the cytoplasm, whereas attached ribosomes are anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum. b. Free ribosomes produce proteins in the cytosol, whereas attached ribosomes produce proteins that are inserted into the ER.

The type of cell that always lacks a cell wall is the _______ cell.

animal

Microfilaments

are composed of actin

Members of the domains Bacteria and Archaea

are prokaryotes.

Cilia

are shorter and more numerous than flagella.

Many proteins within the endomembrane system are transported to the correct location by means of

carbohydrate groups found on the packaged glycoproteins.

In some prokaryotic organisms, the plasma membrane folds to form an internal membrane system that is able to

carry on photosynthesis

A specialized structure found in most prokaryotes is the

cell wall

The semirigid structure that supports the plant cell and determines its shape is the

cell wall.

A vesicle containing proteins from the ER fuses with the _______ region of the Golgi complex.

cis

The folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane

create a large membrane surface for reactions within the mitochondrion.

The overall shape of a cell is determined by its

cytoskeleton.

Structures that contain networks of keratin fibers and provide mechanical stability to animal tissues are called

desmosomes

Lysosomes are important to eukaryotic cells because they contain

digestive enzymes

Ribosomes are not visible under a light microscope, but they can be seen with an electron microscope because

electron microscopes have more resolving power than light microscopes have.

Prokaryotic cells generally are smaller than eukaryotic cells because

eukaryotes have compartmentalization, which allows for specialization

The surface area-to-volume ratio of a cell

explains why cells are small

. An organelle with an internal cross section showing a characteristic "9 + 2" microtubule morphology is the

flagellum.

Some bacteria are able to propel themselves through liquid by means of a structure called the

flagellum.

The electric signal for a contraction passes rapidly from one heart muscle cell to the next by way of

gap junctions.

Ribosomes are the structures in which

genetic information is used to make proteins.

Cells that synthesize a large amount of protein, such as _______ cells, are packed with rough endoplasmic reticulum.

glandular

An organelle consisting of a series of flattened sacks stacked somewhat like saucers is the

golgi apparatus

The rough ER is the portion of the ER that

has ribosomes attached to it.

The extracellular matrix of animal cells

helps orient cell movements during embryonic development.

The role of organelles is to

increase the efficiency of cellular activities

A group of transmembrane proteins involved in maintaining cell structure via their interactions with the cytoskeletion and extracellular matrix are known as

integrins.

A secondary lysosome is a lysosome that

is a primary lysosome that has fused with a phagosome.

The cytosol

is composed largely of water.

keratin protein family members

Most plant and animal cells are

large enough to be seen with a light microscope.

The surface area-to-volume ratio of an object can be decreased by

making it spherical

. Uniform concentrations of cytoplasmic materials are maintained between plant cells by

membrane-lined channels called plasmodesmata.

The cytoskeleton consists of

microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments.

nucleus; membrane-bound organelles

One difference between plant cells and animal cells is that

only animal cells contain centrioles.

plastid.

Which type of organelle is found in plants but not in animals?

plastids

The function of the nuclear pores is to

regulate movement of materials across the nuclear membrane.

All cellular membranes

regulate which materials can cross the membrane

The membrane surrounding each organelle

regulates movement into and out of the organelle.

. Which of the following is not a membrane-enclosed organelle?

ribosomes

Proteins that are transported in vesicles are made by
