Cells - Anatomy

What could probably happen if human cells do not have mitochondria?

• nothing will happen to a cell

• humans could not probably exist

• other cell organelles will produce energy

• humans will be weak due to low production of ATP

Where do lysosomes come from?

• Endoplasmic reticulum

• Golgi Body

• Nucleolus

• Vacuole

What will happen to a cell whose cell membrane is broken or not functioning properly?

• It will not be fluid anymore

• It loses the materials in the cytoplasm

• The phospholipid bilayer will not perform its functions

• The phospholipid will be more attracted to each other

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

• Waste storage

• Contains genetic material and controls the activities of the cell

• Energy production

• Cell wall formation

Explain the role of the cytoplasm

• Regulating blood flow

• Producing enzymes for digestion

• Holds everything in place

• Regulating gene expression and synthesizing RNA and ribosomes

How does the mitochondria contribute to energy production in a human cell?

• Converts chemical energy in food to ATP (usable energy) for the cell to use.

• By releasing energy in the form of carbon dioxide

• By producing energy in the form of water

• By storing energy in the form of glucose

What is the function of the Smooth ER (endoplasmic reticulum) in a human cell?

• Regulation of cell division

• Storage of genetic material

• Specializes in chemical modification and lipid synthesis

• Energy production through photosynthesis

Describe the function of lysosomes in breaking down waste materials within the cell.

• Storing genetic information

• Regulating cell growth and division

• Contains digestive enzymes for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris.

• Producing energy for the cell

What is the importance of the Golgi apparatus in protein processing?

• It breaks down proteins into amino acids

• It has no role in protein processing

• It stores excess proteins in the cell

• Specializes in packaging proteins in vesicles for exporting from the cell
