True/False Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false.

1. Cell products or wastes are released to the surroundings through the process of endocytosis.
True       False                   

2. The plasma membrane of a cell regulates which particles enter and leave the cell.
True       False                   

3. The diffusion of water into and out of cells across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis.
True       False                   

4. Dynamic equilibrium is the process of passive transport in which proteins aid the passage of particles across the plasma membrane.
True       False                   

5. Phagocytosis is a form of endocytosis in which liquid droplets are taken in.
True       False                   

6. The sum of all chemical changes in cells is called metabolism.
True       False                   

7. Lysosomes are plastids that contain chlorophyll and other pigments needed for photosynthesis.
True       False                   

8. Cells that do not have a membrane-bound nucleus are called eukaryotes.
True       False                   

9. Symbiosis refers to a relationship in which two organisms live closely together.
True       False                   

10. Many cell functions are carried out separately because they occur within organelles.
True       False                   

11. Certain cells of a sponge draw in water. The cells probably use centrioles for that function.
True       False                   

12. Your heart is an example of the organ level of organization.
True       False                   

13. A prokaryotic cell shows the greatest degree of division of labor.
True       False                   

14. The most specialized cells are found among multicellular organisms.
True       False
