True or False: Shade in A if you believe that the statement is True. Shade in B if you
believe that the statement is False.
21. Peroxisomes contain enzymes that detoxify harmful substances.
22. Diffusion is defined as movement of particles from an area of low concentration to
an area of high concentration.
23. The cell’s internal supporting framework is called the cytoskeleton.
24. The plasma membrane can be described as a double layer of phospholipid molecules.
25. Rough endoplasmic reticulum looks rough because there are mitochondria attached
to it.

30. Active transport processes that utilize protein carrier molecules, or pumps, do not use
cellular energy but rely on concentration gradients.
31. Red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution may be destroyed because the blood
cells will lyse (burst).
