#APBioBunker Unit 2 Cell Structure & Transport

In a biology lab, a student is observing cells under a microscope. The student is trying to identify which organelles are present in animal cells but not in plant cells. Which organelles should the student look for?

• Chloroplasts and central vacuole

• Centrosomes and lysosomes

• Cell wall and plasmodesmata

• Ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum

During a science project, Reese and Aidan were discussing what ribosomes are made of. Can you help them understand?

• DNA and lipids

• RNA and protein

• Carbohydrates and enzymes

• Phospholipids and nucleic acids

Kaleb is curious about cell biology and asks, 'What is the function of ribosomes?'

• Synthesizing lipids

• Synthesizing proteins

• Detoxifying the cell

• Storing genetic material

Imagine you are studying a newly discovered prokaryotic organism found in the depths of the ocean. In which part of this organism would you expect to find its DNA?

• In the nucleus

• In the nucleoloid region

• In the mitochondria

• In the ribosomes

During a biology class, Christian explained the functions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a cell. Which of the following did he mention is not a function of the smooth ER?

• Metabolizing carbohydrates

• Detoxifying the cell

• Synthesizing ribosomes

• Synthesizing lipids

Riley is studying cell biology and wonders, what is the final destination for proteins synthesized in the rough ER and processed in the Golgi apparatus?

• The nucleus

• The lysosome

• The plasma membrane

• The cytosol

Based on the chart, what is the primary function of microtubules in the cells studied by Riley and Kyran?

• Providing structural support for the movement of organelles

• Maintaining cell shape and enabling cell motility

• Producing nucleic acids and organelles

• Assisting in muscle contraction

What is the structure of microfilaments according to the chart?

During a biology class, Reese displayed a chart explaining the roles of cellular components. Based on that chart, which of the following is not a function of intermediate filaments?

• Maintaining cell shape

• Enabling cell motility

• Anchoring nucleus and certain other organelles

• Providing structural support

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus in a cell, as explained by Reese in the science class?

• It breaks down sugar to produce ATP.

• It modifies, sorts, and packages protein and other materials for storage.

• It uses light energy to make ATP and NADPH.

• It produces CO2 as a result of harvesting energy from light.
