Identify the structures of the nucleus and explain the function of chromatin and nucleoli. Identify organelles and describe the major functions of each: mitochondria ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough) Golgi apparatus lysozomes peroxisomes cytoskeleton microfilaments intermediate filaments microtubules centrioles cilia and flagella Describe the diversity of human cells. Define the following: selective permeability diffusion (simple, facilitated) active and passive transport solute pumping exocytosis endocytosis phagocytosis hypertonic/isotonic/hypotonic

5. Describe the structure of the plasma membrane (including microvilli, tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions) 6. Predict and explain how various plasma membrane transport processes allow movement of specific substances across the plasma membrane (such as glucose, oxygen, carbon dioxide, sodium, potassium, proteins, lipid-soluble and lipid-insoluble materials) given concentration gradients.
