Proteins that are secreted from a eukaryotic cell must first travel through the endomembrane system.Identify the path a secretory protein follows from synthesis to secretion

1)Protein synthesis 2)Endoplasmic reticulum 3)cis Golgi cisternae 4)medial Golgi cisternae 5)trans Golgi cisternae 6)Plasma Membrane 7)Extracellula Space

The diameter of a typical eukaryotic cell is approximately ten times the diameter of a typical prokaryote. What is the ratio of the volume of typical eukaryotic:prokaryotic cells?

1000:1 As the diameter of a cell increases, other dimensions also change. For two cells of approximately equivalent shape but different diameters, surface area increases as the square of diameter, and volume increases as the cube of diameter. Thus, if a eukaryotic cell is ten times the diameter of a prokaryote, its surface area will be one hundred (102) times that of the prokaryote and its volume will be one thousand (103) times that of the prokaryote.

Which of the following is a possible reason for grouping the peroxisomes with chloroplasts and mitochondria?

All of these organelles appear to increase in number by dividing.

Nucleolus

Assembles ribosomes

Where is a bacterial cell's DNA found?

Bacteria lack a nucleus; their DNA is found in the nucleoid region.

_____ are found only in plant cells, but _____ are found in both plant and animal cells.

Central vacuoles are found only in plant cells. Ribosomes are found in both plant and animal cells.

Animal Cell only

Centriole

Cytoskeleton

Defines cell shape

Lysosomes

Digests proteins

Parts of the endomembrane system

ER plasma membrane Golgi apparatus nuclear envelope

All proteins are synthesized by ribosomes in the cell. Some ribosomes float freely in the cytosol, while others are bound to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. Most proteins made by free ribosomes function in the cytosol. Proteins made by bound ribosomes either function within the endomembrane system or pass through it and are secreted from the cell. Which of the following proteins are synthesized by bound ribosomes?

ER protein lysosomal enzyme insulin

What is the most likely pathway taken by a newly synthesized protein that will be secreted by a cell?

ER → Golgi → vesicles that fuse with plasma membrane

In terms of cellular function, what is the most important difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized, which allows for specialization.

_____ are surface appendages that allow a bacterium to stick to a surface.

Fimbriae

_____ aid in the coordination of the activities of adjacent animal cells.

Gap (communicating) junctions; Gap junctions allow for the passage of material between cells, thus facilitating communication between these cells.

Which of the following sequences represents the order in which a protein made in the rough endoplasmic reticulum might move through the endomembrane system?

Golgi apparatus → lysosome; Proteins of the endomembrane system are synthesized in the rough ER, modified and sorted in the Golgi, and then transported to other organelles of the endomembrane system such as vacuoles.

Which of the following categories best describes the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Manufacturing

BOTH plant & animal cells

Mitochondria ER Golgi body Nucleus cytoskeleton Plasma membrane

Which plant cell organelle converts chemical fuel into packets of chemical energy that can power the cell?

Mitochondrion.

Rough ER

Produces secretory proteins

Which statement correctly describes an endomembrane function?

Products of the ER are usually modified during their transit from the cis to the trans region of the Golgi apparatus.; The cis and trans regions of the Golgi apparatus act as receiving and shipping departments. As molecules move from the cis to the trans face of the Golgi apparatus, they are usually modified.

Which of the following clues would tell you if a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Prokaryotic cells lack any internal membranous compartmentalization.

Which one of the following statements about the endomembrane system is correct?

Proteins that will be secreted from the cell are likely to be found in closed spaces bounded by membranes of the endomembrane system.

What is the function of a bacterium's capsule?

Protetion

A particular cell has a nucleus and chloroplasts in addition to the fundamental structures required by all cells. Based on this information, this cell could be __________.

Some protists (such as algae) can photosynthesize, and so can plants. As both the protists and plants are eukaryotes, they contain organelles.

Which of the following is a function of the central vacuole?

Storing compounds produced by the cell

Smooth ER

Synthesizes lipids

What carries instructions for making proteins from the nucleus into the cytoplasm?

The "m" in mRNA stands for "messenger"; mRNA is the messenger that carries genetic instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

Which of the following describes the function of the chloroplast?

The chloroplast makes food for the plant cell by converting light energy to chemical energy.

The structural framework in a cell is the

The cytoskeleton is the structural framework in a cell ("cyto" refers to cell and "skeleton" refers to a structural framework).

Which of the following is part of the endomembrane system?

The endomembrane system includes the ER, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vesicles. It manufactures, processes, and transports lipids and proteins. The Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins.

Identify the correct statement about differences between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Identify the correct statement about differences between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

The outer surface of smooth ER lacks ribosomes, whereas the outer surface of rough ER has ribosomes.
