the endomembrane system.

c)

the cytoplasm cytoskeleton.

d)

the exomembrane skeleton.

2.

Which of the following is NOT part of the endomembrane system?

a)

The nuclear envelope

b)

The cell membrane

c)

The Golgi apparatus

d)

The mitochondria

3.

What type of cells contain the endomembrane system and organelles?

a)

Prokaryotic cells only

b)

Eukaryotic cells only

c)

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

d)

All cells

4.

The packaging and shipping center of the cell, where small protein chains are combined to make larger proteins and then shipped out in vesicles is the

a)

Endoplasmic Reticulum.

b)

Lysosomes.

c)

Vacuoles.

d)

Golgi apparatus.

5.

A small membrane-enclosed organelle that moves between organelles or out of the cell is called a

a)

lysosome.

b)

vesicle.

c)

ribosome.

d)

nucleosome.

6.

Protein chains of amino acids are assembled in the

a)

ribosomes.

b)

lysosomes.

c)

smooth ER.

d)

Golgi apparatus.

7.

The large storage organelle found mostly in plant cells is the

a)

rough ER.

b)

nuclear envelope.

c)

Golgi apparatus.

d)

vacuole.

8.

Which of the following is NOT a function of the endomembrane system?

a)

modification, packaging and transport of proteins

b)

producing and transporting lipids

c)

control of the hereditary information in the cell

d)

breakdown of harmful pathogens in/around the cells

9.

The main difference between smooth and rough ER is the presence of ____.

a)

vesicles.

b)

lysosomes.

c)

enzymes.

d)

ribosomes.

10.

The smooth ER does all of the following EXCEPT

a)

make proteins and enzymes for the cell to use.

b)

make lipids, such as phospholipids and cholesterol for the cell.

c)

detoxifies poisonous cell by-products to make them easier for the cells/body to remove.

d)

stores calcium ions which are important in cell signaling.

11.

Lysosomes contain

a)

digestive enzymes.

b)

DNA and RNA.

c)

stored K+ and Na+ ions.

d)

extra water for use by the cell.

12.

If a lysosome ruptures/breaks open inside a cell, the cell will be 'safe' from the digestive enzymes because

a)

lysosomes contain water that dilutes the cell.

b)

the lysosome will have already been pushed out of the cell.

c)

lysosomes contain lipids that won't react in the cell.

d)

lysosomes have a very low pH; the higher pH of the cytoplasm inactivates the enzymes.

13.

What is this structure in a cell?

a)

the nucleus

b)

the rough endoplasmic reticulum

c)

the plasma membrane

d)

the Golgi apparatus

14.

Which cell structure was NOT involved in this process?

a)

the cell membrane

b)

a vesicle

c)

a chloroplast

d)

all of these structures were involved in this process

15.

What is this cell organelle?

a)

The Golgi apparatus

b)

The Plasma membrane

c)

The Nuclear membrane

d)

The Endoplasmic Reticulum
