  17. Protein pumps
  18. Carbohydrates
  19. Proteins
  20. Draw a cell nucleus. Label and give the functions of: chromatin, nucleolus, and nuclear envelope.
  21. What is the function of a ribosome?
  22. Describe the role of the Golgi apparatus.
  23. The pancreas, an organ present in certain animals, produces enzymes used elsewhere in the animals’ digestive systems. Which type of cell structure(s) might produce those enzymes? Explain your answer.
  24. For each of the following, indicate where the structure is found. (Can be one or both)
  1. Cell membrane - Prokaryote____ Eukaryote____
  2. Mitochondria - Prokaryote____ Eukaryote____
  3. Ribosome - Prokaryote____ Eukaryote____
  4. Golgi apparatus - Prokaryote____ Eukaryote____
  5. Nucleus - Prokaryote____ Eukaryote____
  6. Cytoplasm - Prokaryote____ Eukaryote____
  7. DNA - Prokaryote____ Eukaryote____
  8. The movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane is
  9. Exocytosis
  10. Phagocytosis
  11. Endocytosis
  12. Osmosis
  13. A substance that moves by passive transport tends to move
  14. Away from the area of equilibrium
  15. Away from the area that’s less concentrated
  16. Away from the area that’s more concentrated
  17. Toward the area that’s more concentrated
  18. Describe the process of diffusion, including the word equilibrium in your answer.
  19. What is the relationship between diffusion and osmosis?
  20. What is the difference between passive and active transport?
  21. What would happen to a sample of your red blood cells if they were placed in a hypotonic solution? Explain. (Remember, hypotonic is describing where solutes are. If the solution is hypotonic, does it have more solutes or more water?)

  31. Related organs
  32. Explain the relationship among cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
  1. Would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cells? Explain your answer

OPTIONAL: Can you give an answer to each of the Chapter’s Key Questions? Find each one in the book at the beginning of the section and see if you can answer it without looking it up! Then check the answer in that section to see if you were right!

OPTIONAL: If you need more practice, try making a definition for each word without looking it up!
