Q

This forms a boundary between the living cell and its surroundings and controls the traffic
of molecules into and out of the cell. Exhibits selective permeability
that is, it allows some substances to pass through and blocks passage of some
substances. very thin and porous.

A

cell membrane

89
Q

are the main structural component of membranes. This molecule has two
parts: the head, is polar and thus hydrophilic and the double tail, is nonpolar and therefore
hydrophobic.

A

phospholipid

90
Q

This is the part of the cell between the plasma membrane and the nucleus. It is the
protoplasm outside the nucleus.

91
Q

is the outer homogeneous portion; otherwise, called the cortex
or plasma gel. It is the peripheral layer of the cytoplasm which has the ability
to undergo reversible sol – gel transformation.

92
Q

is the inner granular layer or the liquefied cytoplasm between
the cortex and the nuclear membrane. It is otherwise called cytoplasmic
matrix or hyaloplasm. This is where cytoplasmic organelles and inclusions
are found.

93
Q

are living structures found in all cells which perform specific functions in the cell. They
are referred to as the indispensable part of the cell.
Inclusions are lifeless accumulation of foods, sugar, fat granules, pigments, crystals and etc. They
are considered as the nonliving components of the cytoplasm.

A

organelles

94
Q

s a sausage-shaped or rod-like structure bounded by a double
membrane which is thrown into folds to form little shelves called cristae, which
projects into the matrix, an inner space filled with gel-like fluid. This produces
cellular energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

A

mitochondria

95
Q

are spherical bodies found in the cytoplasm of almost all types of
cells. These provide an intracellular digestive system that allows the cell to digest
and remove unwanted substances or structures such as damaged or foreign
structures. This is also referred to as a “suicide bag” since the release of the
enzyme it contained would cause destruction of the cell itself by digesting its own
proteins.

96
Q

is an intracellular membrane system of branching,
intercommunicating tubules which are continuous with the flattened sacs called
cisternae.

A

endoplasmic reticulum

97
Q

which has on its outer surface small granules called
microsomes (ribosomes) associated with protein synthesis.

98
Q

has absence of granules and functions for fat or lipid
synthesis

99
Q

is an irregular network of canals lined with a
membrane and located near the nucleus. This is involved in the secretion of
certain cell products and also thought to be involved in the packaging and
transport of materials in and out of the cell. It is the main agency for building a
variety of large carbohydrates.

A

golgi complex

100
Q

are hollow cylinders oriented at right angles to each other. They are
found only in animal cells.
They play an important role
in cell division by establishing the poles in the cell during mitosis.

A

centrioles

101
Q

are small dense particles in the cytoplasm and are the molecular
machines that make up proteins.

102
Q

are polymerized fibrillar proteins which occur in large bundles in
epidermal cells undergoing keratinization. They are involved in the change of
the shape of the cells.

A

microfilament

103
Q

are long hollow fibers which appear to be involved in the
preservation of the shape of the cell and in the machinery of motion particularly
in mitosis.

A

microtubules

104
Q

re round or oval bodies that contain pigments and are absent in animal
cells

105
Q

contain red, yellow and orange pigments

A

chloroplast

106
Q

contain colorless pigments

A

leucoplast

107
Q

are minute cavities or spaces in cells which have more fluid content
than the rest of the cytoplasm. They function for gaseous exchange, for
maintaining internal pressure, and for providing a dumping ground for waste

108
Q

are large, sometimes taking up as much as 80% of a plant cell’s
volume and act as storage depots in most plant and fungal cells.

A

central vacuoles

109
Q

contains catalase which breaks down hydrogen peroxides (H2O2)
produced during metabolism

A

peroxisomes

110
Q

It is a spherical body which is the anatomical and functional unit of the cell. This is the largest
cellular organelle which has two important functions:
● To store and carry hereditary information from one generation to another.
● To translate genetic information into the kinds of proteins characteristic of a cell,
thus determine the cell’s specific role in life processes

111
Q

is porous and consists of two-unit membranes. This divides
the cell into two main regions – the nucleus and the cytoplasm.

A

nuclear membrame

112
Q

is where chromosomes and
nucleolus or nuclolei are suspended.
7

A

Nucleoplasm or Karyoplasm or Nuclear sap

113
Q

is a spherical body which is the site of ribosomal manufacture

114
Q

are clumps of a dense granular thread-like network which
is transformed into chromosome during mitosis. It is composed of DNA joined to
protein molecules to form nucleoproteins

A

chromatin material

115
Q

are chromosomes that affect bodily characteristics
thus are also called body chromosomes
