AP Biology: Mastering Biology Chapter 6

Which of the following are common traits of chloroplasts and mitochondria?

Both have their own DNA.

Which of the following correctly matches an organelle with its function?

Central vacuole ... storage

Which structure is not part of the endomembrane system?

Chloroplast

A cell has formed a food vacuole as it ingested a food particle. Which of the following events is associated with the breakdown of that food particle?

Digestion of the food particle occurs in a vesicle enclosed by a membrane that separates the digestion from the cytoplasm.

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

Which statement about extracellular structures (plant cell walls and the extracellular matrix of animal cells) is correct?

Information can be transmitted from these extracellular structures to the cytoplasm.

Which structure-function pair is mismatched?

Microtubule; muscle contraction

Cyanide binds to at least one molecule involved in producing ATP. If a cell is exposed to cyanide, most of the cyanide will be found within the

Mitochondria

Which structure is common to plant and animal cells?

Mitochondrion

Which of the following functions is NOT associated with the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells?

Movement of RNA molecules from the nucleus to the cytoplasm

Which cell would be best for studying lysosomes?

Phagocytic white blood cell

Mitochondria are found in _____.

Plant and animal cells

Select the correct statement describing cellular structure or function.

Plant and animal cells both carry out cellular respiration, producing ATP.

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.

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.

Which of the following is present in a prokaryotic cell?

Ribosome

Choose the best description of the cell cytoskeleton.

The cell cytoskeleton is a dynamic network of fibers that can be quickly dismantled and reassembled to change cell shape and the position of cell components.

Which statement correctly describes the nuclear envelope of a eukaryotic cell?

The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum.

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.

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

Whether or not the cell is partitioned by internal membranes
