The skin is the body's largest organ. It's made up of many different types of cells. Oils, produced by the sebaceous glands, prevent the skin from drying and splitting. The protein melanin, produced by melanocytes in the epidermis, protects the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. Sweat, released through ducts to the skin surface, helps to cool the body. The types of cells that produce these compounds have different numbers of specific organelles, depending on their function. Based on their function, you would expect melanocytes in the skin to have a higher than usual number of ribosomes. lysosomes. microtubules. chloroplasts.

A

Which cell structure is responsible for metabolism? mitochondrion Golgi apparatus smooth endoplasmic reticulum nucleus

Cytoskelton

A Network of Microtubules and Interconnected Filaments that PROVIDE For the SHAPE OF CELLS & ALLOW THE CELL TO BE MOBILE

Vesicle

A membrane bound sac that contains materials involved in transport of the cell. (made of cell membrane)

Central Vacuole

Chloroplasts

A structure in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food.(aka- PHOTOSYNTHESIS)

Golgi Apparatus

A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell

Cyanide inhibits mitochondrial function; as a result, the rate of protein synthesis increases. ATP synthesis decreases. ATP synthesis increases. photosynthesis increases.

B

Light microscopes A. typically provide more resolution than an electron microscope. B. use light and glass lenses to magnify an image. C.allow to look at the surface of objects with magnification of up to 500 000x. D. work by reflecting electrons off the surface of an object being studied.

B

One function of the central vacuole in plants is growth. The central vacuole grows larger when there is an increase in the amount of stored material. An animal cell does not grow by this method. What is the essential difference between animals and plants that requires the central vacuole? Plant cells cannot divide. The plant cell wall provides a more rigid structure. Plant cells grow at a slower rate than animal cells. Animal cells have a similar organelle that produces the same effect as the central vacuole.

B

The nucleus of a cell is contained within the nucleolus. contains DNA. is the primary location of protein synthesis. is surrounded by a single layer of membrane.

B

Where are chlorophyll molecules located within plant cells? within the cell membrane embedded in the thylakoid membrane in the cytoplasm within chloroplast ribosomes

B

Which of the following statements about the cytoskeleton is false? The cytoskeleton is composed of three types of fibers: microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. Once laid down, the elements of the cytoskeleton are fixed and remain permanently in place. The cytoskeleton helps to support cells. The cytoskeleton plays an important role in amoeboid motion.

B

You have identified a new organism. It has ribosomes, plasmodesmata, and cell walls made of cellulose. This new organism is most likely a(n) _____. prokaryote plant animal bacterium

B

As cell size increases, the volume and surface area decrease. surface area and volume increase at the same rate. volume increases faster than the surface area. surface area increases faster than the volume.

C

The function of mitochondria is lipid synthesis. intracellular digestion. cellular respiration. photosynthesis

C

The plasma membrane would fit into which general function category? manufacturing energy production support, movement, and communication breakdown

C

Unlike animal cells, plant cells have ________ and ________. Unlike plant cells, animal cells have ________. chloroplasts . . . cell walls . . . a nucleus centrioles . . . chloroplasts . . . cell walls chloroplasts . . . cell walls . . . centrioles centrioles . . . cell walls . . . large central vacuoles

C

What are the limits on which maximum cell size depends? amount of DNA in the nucleus the number of organelles surface-to-volume ratio number of surrounding cells

C

What do the rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes have in common? They all perform similar roles in the cell. They are all physically connected to each other. They are constructed of interrelated membranes. All are located in the nucleus of the cell.

C

Which of the following statements about lysosomes is false? Lysosomes destroy harmful bacteria engulfed by white blood cells. Lysosomes fuse with food vacuoles to expose nutrients to lysosomal enzymes. Lysosomes synthesize proteins from the recycled amino acids. Lysosomes help to digest worn-out or damaged organelles.

C

You are told that the cells on a microscope slide are plant, animal, or bacterial. You look at them through a microscope and see cell walls and membrane-bound organelles. You conclude correctly that the cells are animal cells. are bacterial cells. are plant cells. could be either plant or bacterial cells.

C

Which of the following statements about cells is true? A. All cells are motile. B. All cells are attached to other cells. C. All cells have internal structures that move. D. All cells have cell walls

C. All cells have internal structures that move

Covered in ribosomes and is responsible for the synthesis and transport of proteins and glycoproteins.(makes vesicles)

Mitochondria

Cytoplasmic organelles responsible for ATP generation for cellular activities. (double membrane)

A manufacturing company dumps its wastes into a nearby pond. One of the wastes is found to paralyze the contractile vacuoles of certain protists. A biologist looking at individual samples of these organisms taken from the pond would find that they have died because wastes have built up in the cytoplasm. have lost water and shrunk. have died of malnutrition. have gained water and burst.

D

Cilia differ from flagella in that cilia are anchored only in the proteins of the cell membrane, while flagella are anchored in a special structure called the basal body. cilia contain nine microtubule doublets surrounding a central pair of microtubules, while flagella contain only nine microtubule doublets. the protein filaments of cilia are "naked," while those of flagella are wrapped in an extension of the cell membrane. cilia are typically more numerous and shorter than flagella.

D

Contractile vacuoles allow organisms to avoid dehydration by absorbing water from the environment. are generally found in protists that inhabit salt water. help in the excretion of excess salt. prevent cells from bursting as a result of the influx of excess water.

D

How are cell surface proteins exported out of the cell? The proteins are packaged into vesicles for transport to the lysosomes. The protein will be modified with the addition of a monosaccharide. The protein will be sent to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum to be sorted for its final destination. The protein is folded, then packaged for transport to the Golgi apparatus.
