Structures found in a eukaryotic cell

Answer 24

Nucleus, ER, Golgi apparatus, chloroplast, and mitochondria

Question 25

What is the function of the cell membrane

Answer 25

It regulates materials entering and leaving the cell; protects and supports the cell

Question 26

What are cell membranes mostly made up of?

Answer 26

Lipid bilayer

Question 27

What are the channels and pumps found in the cell membrane made of?

Answer 27

Protein

What is diffusion

Answer 28

When particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration

Question 29

Why does does diffusion occur

Answer 29

?

Question 30

What happens to the movement of molecules when the concentration of both sides of the cell membrane is the same

Answer 30

They all keep moving in both directions since they’ve reached the equilibrium

Question 31

What type of particle transport requires energy

Answer 31

Active transport

Question 32

What is diffusion of water across a membrane called

?

Question 34

What term refers to cells having different jobs within an organism

Answer 34

Cell specialization

Question 35

How do the cells of a multicellular organism compare to those of a single-called organism

Answer 35

Single called organisms are able to maintain homeostasis by themselves. Multicellular are interdependent and specialized to maintain homeostasis
