a. lysosomes d. sulcus
b. nucleolus e. mitochondria
c. endoplasmic reticulum

1. the fluid contained inside the cell is

a. cytoplasm d. synovial fluid.
b. endoplasm. e. plasma.
c. ectoplasm.

1. what surrounds and protects the cell?

a. golgi complex d. ribosomes
b. endoplasmic reticulum e. cell membrane
c. lysosomes

1. what are the chemical messenger cells called?

a. lymphocytes d. hormones
b. erythrocytes e. minerals
c. electrolytes

1. what type of tasks do organelles carry out?

a. excretory d. communicative
b. sensory e. reproductive
c. metabolic
h. build medical terms using your knowledge of elements and their proper position in a medical term. fill in the blanks. (lo 3.1, 3.2, 3.11, 3.c)

1. small mass molec/____
2. pertaining to below the stomach __/__/ic
3. manifestation of a genome ____/o/type
4. pertaining to urine urin/____
5. a change in condition (when the elements are taken literally) ____/ism
6. small organ organ/____
7. small nucleus nucle/o/____
8. enzyme that digests foreign material lys/o/____

Explanation:

1. Lysosomes, nucleolus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria are organelles. Sulcus is not an organelle.
2. The fluid inside the cell is cytoplasm.
3. The cell membrane surrounds and protects the cell.
4. Hormones are chemical - messenger cells.
5. Organelles carry out metabolic tasks.

For building medical terms:

1. "molec/ule" means small mass.
2. "sub/stomach/ic" can mean pertaining to below the stomach (though a more common prefix for below is "hypo -", here we assume a more literal construction).
3. "phen/o/type" is the manifestation of a genome.
4. "urin/ary" pertains to urine.
5. "condition/ism" could represent a change in condition (a bit of a made - up example as there are more specific medical suffixes and prefixes for such concepts, but following the pattern).
6. "organ/elle" means small organ.
7. "nucle/o/lus" means small nucleus.
8. "lys/o/zyme" is an enzyme that digests foreign material.

Answer:

1. d. sulcus
2. a. cytoplasm
3. e. cell membrane
4. d. hormones
5. c. metabolic
