Front (Question)

Size (diameter) and DNA arrangement of prokaryotes

Back (Answer)

1-5um and circular

#10

Front (Question)

Size (diameter) and DNA arrangement of eukaryotes

Back (Answer)

10-100um and linear

#11

Front (Question)

Components of the cytoskeleton

Back (Answer)

Microtubules, intermediate filaments and actin filaments

#12

Front (Question)

What is locomotion in a cell?

Back (Answer)

The ability of cells or organisms to move and propel itself from place to place.

#13

Front (Question)

What is the purpose of a cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells?

Back (Answer)

Maintains the cell’s shape, and is responsible for the locomotion of the cell itself and the movement of the various organelles

#14

Front (Question)

Which part of the cell is responsible for breaking down used organelles and essentially “digesting” substances?

Back (Answer)

Lysosomes

#15

Front (Question)

What part of the cell allows materials to enter and exit the cell?

Back (Answer)

Plasma membrane

#16

Front (Question)

When biologists wish to study the internal ultrastructure of cells, they most likely would use…

Back (Answer)

Transmission electronic microscope

#17

Front (Question)

The advantage of light microscopy over electron microscopy is that…

Back (Answer)

Light microscopy allows one to view dynamic processes in living cells

#18

Front (Question)

What is the primary objective of cell fractionation?

Back (Answer)

To separate the major organelles so that their particular functions can be determined

#19

Front (Question)

Large numbers of ribosomes are present in cells that specialize in producing which of the following molecules?

Back (Answer)

Proteins

#20

Front (Question)

Which type of organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils, phospholipids, and steroids?

Back (Answer)

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

#21

Front (Question)

Which of organelle contains its own DNA and ribosomes?

Back (Answer)

Mitochondria

#22

Front (Question)

Chloroplast

#23

Front (Question)

Organelles other than the nucleus that contain DNA include:

Back (Answer)

Mitochondria and chloroplast

#24

Front (Question)

The mitochondrion, like the nucleus, has two or more membrane layers. How is the innermost of these layers different from that of the nucleus?

Back (Answer)

The inner mitochondrial membrane is highly folded
