Chemicals stored in cells are called kinesins.

Carbohydrates are primarily associated with the outer surface of the cell membrane.

Genetic translation occurs in ribosomes located in the _____________ of the cell.

Almost every body cell has a single nonmotile primary cilium with a "9+0" structure.

The _____________ is the liquid portion of the cell between the plasma membrane and nucleus.

This process is also known as reduction division:

The process of gene expression occurs as

Huntington's disease is characterized by a dominant defective gene on chromosome

Release of neurotransmitters occurs via

Proteins that are partially embedded on one side of the plasma membrane are

The cell is the basic structural and functional unit in the body.

RNA strands such as siRNA and miRNA can prevent gene expression in mRNA.

Genes present in heterochromatin are readily expressed.

Loss of DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes in the ________ region may cause cell senescence.

The proteins found in chromatin are called histones, are positively charged, and form spools.

The flexibility of a cell's membrane is determined by the ratio of _____________ to ____________.

The main function of the peroxisome is to release energy from food molecules and transform the energy into usable ATP.

The term proteome refers to all of the genes in a particular individual.

The body cells that contain plasma membranes with highest cholesterol content are the muscle cells.

A cell which is actively involved in the detoxification of chemicals would contain large quantities of
