8th Edition,
Cytoplasm - ANSWER The gel-like substance of a cell exclusive of the nucleus
and other organelles.
Plasma - ANSWER ___________ Membrane that separates the contents of a cell
from the tissue fluid; enclose the cytoplasm and forms the outer boundary of the cell.
Organelle - ANSWER Intercell organ; for example, the ribosome
Nucleus - ANSWER Spherical structure within a cell; a group of neuron cell bodies
in the brain or spinal cord; central core of the atom, made up of protons and
(sometimes) neutrons.
Plasma membrane, Cytoplasm, Nucleus - ANSWER What are the three main parts
of a cell?
Phospholipid - ANSWER Phosphate-containing fat molecule.
Cytoskeleton - ANSWER Cell's internal supporting, moving framework
Ribosome - ANSWER Organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that synthesizes
proteins; also known as a protein factory
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) - ANSWER Network of tubules and vesicles in
cytoplasm; two types rough and smooth.
Golgi apparatus - ANSWER Small sacs stacked on one another near the nucleus
that make carbohydrate compounds, combine them with protein molecules,
Mitochondria - ANSWER Threadlike structures
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - ANSWER Molecule similar to adenosine
triphosphate but containing only two phosphate groups.
Lysosomes - ANSWER Membranous organelles
Apoptosis - ANSWER Programmed cell death by means of several biochemical
process built into each cell; _______
clears space for newer cells, as in early embryonic development or in tissue repair.
Centrosome - ANSWER Area of the cytoplasm near the nucleus that coordinates
the building and breaking up of microtubules in the cell.
