B. root hairs: increase surface area which allow for efficient absorption of water and minerals
C. actin and myosin: slide past one another as the muscle contracts and expands for organism activity
D. pili: allow cells to sense changes in their surroundings which in turn allows the cells to respond
appropriately
Part III. Identification. Use the word bank to identify what is being described.
_________________1.) A critical control point in the Cell Cycle where ‘stop’ and ‘go-ahead’ signals can regulate the
cell cycle.
_________________2.) Ensures that DNA replication in S phase has been successfully completed.
_________________3.) Ensures that the cell is large enough to divide and that enough nutrients are available to
support the resulting daughter cells.
__________________4.) If the cell does not receive the ‘go-ahead’ signal, it will exit the Cell Cycle and switch to a
non-dividing state called ____________.
__________________5.) Ensures that all of the chromosomes are attached to the mitotic spindle by a kinetochore.
__________________6.) A protein which activates or deactivates another protein by phosphorylating them.
__________________7.) Results in reducing the number of chromosomes (reduction division).
__________________8.) In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs by the formation of a constriction called __________.
__________________9.) DNA synthesis happens in what part of interphase.
__________________10.) The image shows _________________.

E. Enucleated red blood cell J. Spores
BOX B
_________1. Hemoglobin-containing, disc-shaped that transports oxygen to the body cells.
_________2. Hair-like structure made of proteins that enable bacteria to adhere to tissue surfaces.
_________3. Cell membrane extensions of an epithelial cell that increase the surface area of cells.
_________4. Thin neuron branch that receives neural messages from other neurons and conduct the impulses to the
cell body.
_________5. Whip-like structure that aid for the propulsion of single cells (facilitates sperm motility).
_________6. Help in the survival of the organisms during adverse environmental conditions (heat, high pressure, and
stress).
_________7. Filaments of protein that permit the muscle to contract and elongate for organism activity.
_________8. A neuron extension that transmits messages away from the cell body and toward another cell.
_________9. Tiny hair-like structures that increase the area available for water absorption and that of minerals and
other nutrients.
_________10. Hair-like projections that can also move an egg cell through the female reproductive tract.
