Which of the following is NOT part of the cell theory?

• The cell is the smallest living unit in all organisms.
• All cells have a nucleus.
• All living things are made of cells.
• All cells come from other pre-existing cells.

Back

All cells have a nucleus.

Front

The difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells do not have a nucleus nor membrane-bound organelles.

Back

False

Front

Which part of the cell surrounds the cell and is selectively permeable, meaning it only allows certain molecules in and out?

Back

Plasma Membrane

Front

What is the jelly-like material inside cells that surrounds all the internal cell structures?

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

What do we call the collection of fibers within the cell that provide support for the cell and its organelles?

Back

cytoskeleton

Front

Which organelle in the cell is not a membrane-bound organelle and makes proteins?

Back

Ribosomes

Front

Which membrane-bound organelle contains the genetic material of the cell (such as DNA)?

Back

Nucleus

Front

Which organelle processes and transports molecules for the cell, and sends away molecules in vesicles?

Back

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Front

What organelle within the cell is the "ultimate packaging center" because it receives items from the transport vesicles pinched off from the ER, contains enzymes that can modify molecules, and sorts the materials it receives to be sent around the cell?

Back

Golgi Apparatus

Front

What do Mitochondria do?

Back

Make ATP energy for the cell in a process called cellular respiration.
