Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

1. There are only two types of fibers within the cytoskeleton of a cell.
2. Certain proteins can assist in moving a material from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
3. Exocytosis is a type of active transport that moves particles, such as large molecules, parts of cells, and even whole cells, into a cell.
4. Enzymes are essential to the metabolic process because they raise the activation energies of chemical reactions inside the cell.
5. Muscles in the human body convert kinetic energy in food to create chemical energy through movement.
