Keystone Biology Module 1 part 2

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus in eukaryotic cells?

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What role do ATP molecules play in protein synthesis?

Back

ATP molecules provide the energy required for the synthesis of proteins.

Front

What is the primary function of cell membranes?

Back

Cell membranes regulate the passage of substances into and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

How do antibiotics affect bacterial cells?

Back

Antibiotics can disrupt the cell wall of bacteria, leading to cell lysis and death.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where amino acids are assembled into proteins based on the sequence of mRNA.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

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

Front

What is homeostasis?

Back

Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

Front

What are lysosomes and their function?

Back

Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is the significance of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, matching them to the mRNA sequence.
