The nucleus _________, which is essential for function and survival of the cell.
is the site of protein synthesis
contains the genetic code
transforms cellular energy
initiates aerobic metabolism
Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power plants of the cell because
they:
contain RNA for protein synthesis.
utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.
extract energy from organic compounds.
store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.
Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a lipid bilayer, most of the
specific membrane functions are carried out by:
bound and transmembrane proteins.
complex, long carbohydrate chains.
surface antigens and hormone receptors.
a gating system of selective ion channels.
To effectively relay signals, cell-to-cell communication utilizes chemical messenger systems that:
displace surface receptor proteins.
accumulate within cell gap junctions.
bind to contractile microfilaments
