Chloroplasts contain

• cristae

• grana

• saccules

• liposomes

Which of the following people did not contribute research toward a component of cell theory?

• Pasteur

• Schleiden

• Schwann

The process by which fluid enters a cell in bulk by being surrounded and engulfed by the cell membrane is

• pinocytosis

• osmosis

• plasmolysis

• cytolysis

Since diffusion is a purely physical process (it requires no cellular energy), it could be a form of

• passive transport

• active transport

• turgor

• plasmolysis
