AP Biology Cell Reading Assignment
Which of the following is best observed by using a compound light microscope?
A eukaryotic cell
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are physiologically different in many ways, but both represent functional, evolutionarily successful cells. A. It has been theorized that the organelles evolved from prokaryotes living symbiotically within a larger cell. Explain 3 lines of evidence that support this theory. B. Create a model (i.e. flow chart, diagram, etc.) to show the path of a protein in a eukaryotic cell from its formation to secretion from the cell.
A. TBD B.TBD
Which of the following are characteristics of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Cell Membrane, ribosomes, DNA and RNA
A biologist ground up some plant cells and then centrifuged the mixture. She obtained some organelles from the sediment in the test tube. The organelles took up carbon dioxide and gave off oxygen. The organelles are most likely
Chloroplasts
Grana, thykaloids and stroma are all components found in
Chloroplasts
Which of the following is capable of converting light energy into chemical-energy?
Chloroplasts
Of the following, what do both mitochondria and chloroplasts have in common?
DNA & Ribosomes are present
Which of the following is not found in a prokaryotic cell?
Endoplasmic reticulum
Which of the following organelles modifies and packages for secretion the materials produced by the ribosomes?
Golgi apparatus
A student using a compound light microscope observes a cell and correctly decides that it is a plant cell because
It has a large central vacuole
In animals, hydrolytic enzymes are packaged to prevent general destruction of cellular components. Which of the following organelles functions in this compartmentalization?
Lyosome
Pompe's disease results in liver damage due to an accumulation of glycogen due to the absence of an enzyme needed to break down glycogen. Which of the following organelles is involved in Pompe's disease?

The nucleolus functions in the production of
Ribosomes
Which structure is the site of the synthesis of proteins that may be exported from the cell?

Which type of organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils, phospholipids and steroids?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Cells can be described as having a cytoskeleton of internal structures that contribute to the shape, organization and movement of the cell. All of the following are part of the cytoskeleton except
The cell wall
An animal secretory cell and a photosynthetic leaf cell are similar in all of the following ways except
They both have chloroplasts
A primary objective of cell fractionation is
To separate the major organelles so their particular functions
