Cells have the capability of synthesizing water during metabolism.
-True
The lysosomes within a cell contain hydrolytic enzymes capable of digesting particles within the cells.
True
Vesicles differ from vacuoles in that vesicles are usually produced for the purpose of causing something to leave the cell.
-False
Membranes are called selectively permeable because they allow most substances to enter the cell.
-False
The selectively permeability of a cell membrane functions under active transport mechanisms.
-True
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. -
Metaphase
Chromosomes return to chromatin; nuclear membranes form; cleavage furrow begins.
-Telophase
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear envelope disappears, spindle fibers start to form.
-Prophase
Phase before mitosis; growth of cell and preparation for division.
-Interphase
Cells use up to 40% of their daily energy expenditure engaged in what important process?
-Active Transport
By which process does a glucose molecule move through a cell membrane protein carrier from a region of greater concentration to one of lower concentration to one of lower concentration.
-Facilitated Diffusion
It is the passage of WATER from a region of high water concentration through a semipermeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.
-Osmosis
The movement of particles from an area of higher to lower concentration is called __.
-Diffusion
The cell is the basic structure/functional unit common to all living organisms
-TRUE
In simple diffusion, molecules move from an area of __ concentration to an area of __ concentration
-High, Low
Proteins do not pass through plasma membranes because
-They are very large molecules
