DOK Level 1: Recall

Which organelle is known as the "powerhouse of the cell"?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

DOK Level 1: Recall

Describe the role of the nucleus in a cell.

• It generates energy for the cell.

• It controls the cell's activities and contains the genetic material.

• It synthesizes proteins.

• It transports materials within the cell.

DOK Level 1: Recall

Explain how the structure of the cell membrane contributes to its function.

• The rigid structure allows it to protect the cell.

• The semi-permeable nature allows selective movement of substances.

• The presence of ribosomes helps in protein synthesis.

• The double membrane structure helps in energy production.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

How do mitochondria contribute to the overall function of the cell?

• By storing genetic information

• By producing ATP through cellular respiration

• By synthesizing proteins

• By controlling cell division

Tags

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Analyze the relationship between the nucleus and protein synthesis.

• The nucleus directly synthesizes proteins.

• The nucleus provides the instructions for protein synthesis.

• The nucleus transports proteins to other parts of the cell.

• The nucleus breaks down proteins into amino acids.

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Construct an explanation for how the structure of DNA in the nucleus determines the structure of proteins.

• DNA sequences are translated directly into proteins.

• DNA sequences are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins.

• DNA sequences are used to produce lipids.

• DNA sequences are used to produce carbohydrates.

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Evaluate the impact of a malfunctioning mitochondrion on a cell's function.

• The cell would produce excess energy.

• The cell would be unable to produce sufficient ATP, leading to reduced energy availability.

• The cell would have an increased rate of protein synthesis.

• The cell would have enhanced genetic material storage.
