Which organelle is involved in the production of proteins and lipids within the cell?

• Nucleus

• Endoplasmic reticulum

• Golgi apparatus

• Chloroplasts

Analyze the relationship between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus in protein processing.

• The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins, which are then modified and packaged by the Golgi apparatus.

• The Golgi apparatus synthesizes proteins, which are then transported by the endoplasmic reticulum.

• Both organelles store genetic material for protein synthesis.

• The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus both produce energy for protein synthesis.

What would happen to a cell if its mitochondria were not functioning properly?

• The cell would be unable to synthesize proteins.

• The cell would be unable to produce energy efficiently.

• The cell would be unable to store genetic material.

• The cell would be unable to perform photosynthesis.

Predict the effect on a plant cell if its chloroplasts were damaged.

• The cell would be unable to produce energy through cellular respiration.

• The cell would be unable to perform photosynthesis.

• The cell would be unable to synthesize proteins.

• The cell would be unable to modify and package proteins.

NGSS.HS-LS2-5

Discuss the strategic role of the Golgi apparatus in the cell's protein production.

• It initiates protein synthesis by assembling amino acids.

• It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or use within the cell.

• It stores energy for protein synthesis.

• It breaks down proteins into amino acids for recycling.

What is the consequence of a malfunction in the ribosomes of a cell?

• The cell would be unable to produce energy.

• The cell would be unable to synthesize proteins.

• The cell would be unable to perform photosynthesis.

• The cell would be unable to store genetic material.
