AP Biology Unit 2 Organelles

Front

What is the function of free ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Free ribosomes synthesize cytosolic proteins.

Front

What is the function of bound ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Bound ribosomes synthesize membrane proteins.

Front

Where does the CFTR protein go for modification after synthesis?

Back

The CFTR protein goes to the Golgi Bodies for modification, packaging, and sorting.

Front

Where is mRNA synthesized?

Back

mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus.

Front

What organelle is responsible for digesting macromolecules?

Back

The lysosome is responsible for digesting macromolecules.

Front

Which organelle synthesizes the CFTR protein?

Back

The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) synthesizes the CFTR protein.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi Bodies in the cell?

Back

The Golgi Bodies modify, package, and sort proteins and lipids.

Front

What is the primary function of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?

Back

The Rough ER is primarily involved in the synthesis of proteins.

Front

What is the primary function of the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum?

Back

The Smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.

Front

What condition results from a defect in the lysosome?

Back

Tay Sachs results from a defect in the lysosome, leading to a build-up of fats.
