AP Biology: Unit 2 Review (CED)

Front

Why is a eukaryotic cell able to be larger than a prokaryotic cell?

Back

Membrane-bound organelles compartmentalize intracellular processes.

Front

Describe the difference between rough ER and smooth ER.

Back

Rough ER compartmentalizes cell; Smooth ER functions in detox and lipid synthesis.

Front

Which organelle is a membrane-bound structure that functions in correct folding/chemical modification of proteins?

Back

Golgi complex.

Front

Which is membrane-enclosed sacs that contain hydrolytic enzymes?

Back

Lysosome.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for storage and release of macromolecules and cellular waste products?

Back

Vacuoles.

Front

What is the function of the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell?

Back

The nucleus houses the cell's genetic material and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What role do ribosomes play in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both.
