Answer 2

Cell membrane

Question 3

It is _____, which means not everything can enter or pass through it

Answer 3

Semipermeable

Question 4

In the cell membrane are several specialized fingerlike folds which mainly increase the surface area of the cell

Answer 4

Microvilli (singular: microvillus)

Question 5

It contains tue semifluid substance called cytosol where the different organelles are suspended

Answer 5

Cytoplasm

Question 6

4 different substance of cytosol

Question 8

The cytoplasm appears to have no form. However, it does have structure due to the presence of the

Answer 8

Cytoakeleton

Question 9

Answer 9

Microfilament
Microtubules
Intermeduate filament

Question 10

A filament that has a diameter of about 7 nanometers (nm) and is mainly composed of a contractile protein called actin

Answer 10

Microfilament

Question 11

Tensile strength

Question 14

These come in pairs and are at right angles with each other

Answer 14

Centrioles

Question 15

Replicated genegic materials in the cells

Answer 15

Chromosomes

Question 16

The centrioles are usually surrounded by

Answer 16

Pericentriolar materials (pericentriolar matrix)

Question 17

Serves as the control center of the cell cuz it is where most of the genetic processes take place

Answer 17

Nucleus (plural: nuclei)

Question 18

Parts of nucleus

Answer 18

Nuclear envelope (boundary of nucleus, composed of outer and inner nuclear membranes)
Perinuclear space (in between the membranes)
Nucleoplasm (inside of the nuclear envelope)
Chromatin (within the nucleoplasm)
Nuclear pores (substances that move in and out the nucleus)
