The organelles in eukaryotic cells may have evolved through several different processes as pictured in the diagram below. nar007-1.jpg #26 Ch. 8 Review Quiz What evolutionary process is occurring in the fourth representation of the cell?
Endosymbiosis Foot Note: At Point C, the aerobic bacteria is being engulfed by the original cell. The aerobic bacteria formed a symbiotic relationship with the larger cell in which both benefited and gained a selective advantage. The engulfed bacteria is now called the mitochondrion. The nucleus was probably formed by invagination due to the similarities between the cell and nuclear membrane.

Mature mammalian red blood cells, called erythrocytes, have no nucleus, ribosomes, or mitochondria. The cytoplasm of erythrocytes is rich in hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen. The large amount of hemoglobin allows the red blood cells to carry the large amount of oxygen cells need for the high rate of metabolism in mammals. Erythrocytes have a biconcave shape, meaning they are thinner in their center than along their edges as shown in the model. Most other types of cells have the ability to replace damaged molecules and organelles. Red blood cells have a reduced capacity for repair and thus only survive for about four months. Construct an explanation based on the structure of red blood cells for why red blood cells are unable to repair damaged proteins.

The table shows just a few different types of cells in the human body, their functions, and their average volumes. See Table #23 Ch. 8 Review Quiz Red blood cells are found in the blood as part of the circulatory system. Blood flows through arteries, veins, and narrow capillaries. Fat cells are located in adipose tissues in the body. Fat cells are generally located under the skin and around some organs. Use the information in the table to construct an explanation for why fat cells are so much larger than red blood cells.

Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes. Which of the following is a function of lysosomes?
Lysosomes break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Mature mammalian red blood cells, called erythrocytes, have no nucleus, ribosomes, or mitochondria. The cytoplasm of erythrocytes is rich in hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen. The large amount of hemoglobin allows the red blood cells to carry the large amount of oxygen cells need for the high rate of metabolism in mammals. Erythrocytes have a biconcave shape, meaning they are thinner in their center than along their edges as shown in the model. Based on the structure of erythrocytes, how do red blood cells help to maintain homeostasis in mammalian organisms?
Oxygen diffuses into and out of red blood cells to maintain homeostasis. The biconcave shape of erythrocytes provides an increased surface area on the cells for diffusion to occur.
Particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Scientists estimate that humans contain over 37 trillion cells. Among these cells are more than 200 different cell types that have different structures, sizes, shapes, and functions. The table shows just a few different types of cells in the human body, their functions, and their average volumes. See Table #24 Ch. 8 Review Quiz The circulatory system is an organ system in the body that helps maintain homeostasis by transporting oxygen, nutrients, and other substances throughout the body and removes wastes from tissues. The circulatory system includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Based on the information in the table, which types of cells are present in tissues that comprise the organs of the circulatory system? Select all that apply.
Red blood cells are part of the circulatory system because they are in the blood and transport oxygen throughout the body through veins, capillaries, and arteries. Cardiomyocytes are part of the circulatory system because they are muscle cells found in the heart, which pumps blood throughout the body.

The reproductive system of chlamydomonas contains specialized cells that enable the organism to reproduce both sexually and asexually.
A cell is placed in an isotonic solution. How does the cell maintain homeostasis in this environment?
