Human Anatomy: Cell and Tissue Lecture Quiz

Cell membrane = Encloses the cell and regulates the passage of materials in and out of the cell Nucleus = Contains chromosomes and is the carrier of genetic material Cell organelles = Various structures within the cell that have specific functions Chromosomes = Carries genetic information and is located within the nucleus

Histology = Study of the structure, formation, and function of tissues, cells, and organs using a microscope Eukaryotes = Organisms with cells that have a nucleus separated from the rest of the cell by a membrane Prokaryotes = Single-celled organisms without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles Molecules = The smallest unit of a chemical compound that retains the chemical properties of that compound

Contain a nucleus separated by a membrane = Eukaryotic cells Do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles = Prokaryotic cells Found in plants, animals, and humans = Eukaryotic cells Found in bacteria and yeast = Prokaryotic cells

<p>Tissue = A structure formed by a collection of cells with similar morphologic characteristics and function Molecule = The basic unit of a chemical compound retaining its properties Cellula = The Latin word meaning 'a small room', from which 'cell' is derived Epithelial tissue = Tissue that lines the surfaces and cavities of structures throughout the body</p> Signup and view all the answers
