I seriously hope you have ribosomes, phat. if you don't, you won't have a body.
why? ribosomes are crucial in the production of proteins. every cell in the world has them.
as jon points out, animal cells do not have cell walls.

quick correction.
hydrogen has one proton, one electron, and 1,2, or 3 nuetrons.
The most common hydrogen atom has but one nuetron.
dueterium (heavy water) has 2 nuetrons
triterium (I think I'v the name right) has 3 nuetrons.
dueterium is what they use for nuclear fusion reactors and the H-bomb.

thanks for giving the answer to the first one, NJ.
1)b
2)c
3)a is the group of tissues, but I don't know if its b or c. I know it ain't d.
4)a
5)d
6)i'm gonna guess a
7)d
8)c
9)b
10)32 degrees
11)a
12)d?
13)a, c (though the atomic number refers to the number of protons, in order for the element to be nuetral, as all the elements listed in the table are presented as, the number of electrons equals the number of protons)
14)can you classify nitrogen-fixing bacteria as a parasite? can you be your own mate? if yes to the above two, the answers are [a,b,c]. the other two options are [a,b] or [a,c]. I'm unaware of fungi being necessary to plants.
15)venus flytrap, plenty of insects, and predators. something tells me you were going with predators.
16) wait, there is not 16. answer for the unmarked question is b.
17)believe it or not, it's actually the kilogram, not the gram. that is the base unit of mass in the SI (metric) system. yeah, that's about the one stupid thing in the system.
18)c
19)d
20)a?
21)every magnet has a. there is no such thing as a "simple" magnet, unless you are referring to magnets that are easy to make.
22)a
23)c
24)b
25)c
when will we get our test scores back?

i thought those nodules were nitrogen-fixing bacteria, not fungi?
mind you, it's been about a half-year since I've had any plant biology, and I'm not likely to take a class in biology again, so . . .

you're right with the shipping, just to the wrong destination.
All proteins for the cell are made by unbound ribosomes.
All proteins for other cells and areas outside the cell are made by bound ribosomes. those would be the ones stuck to the endoplasmic reticulum.
(abe:the RER (rough endo . . .) is not a storage unit. If anything, it would be the golgi apparatus, which is responsible for packaging the proteins to be sent outside of the cell)
Further note, if I remember correctly, endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for detoxification. the difference is that this occurs in smooth (ribosome-free) ER.

I can't help you with 6, sorry.
7 is D.
mitosis is nothing more than the splitting of a cell into two complete cells. Hence, asexual reproduction (no mixing of genetic material with outside sources, unlike sexual reproduction).
meiosis is a similar process, though only used by gametic cells, and in the end produces four complete cells instead of two.
8 is B.
I can definately (I hate this word--I can never spell it correctly)see why you might think that animal cells have no vacuoles. Compared to a plant cell's vacuole, ours are tiny, pathetic looking things.
