Alexis's teacher mentioned that vesicles work with the cell membrane to transport enzymes and maintain homeostasis. Which statement CORRECTLY explains how the vesicle works with the cell membrane?
Vesicles receive enzymes from the chloroplast where the vesicle then travels to the cell membrane to be released out of the cell.
Vesicles receive enzymes from the cytoplasm where the vesicle then travels to the cell membrane to be released out of the cell.
Vesicles receive enzymes from the mitochondria where the vesicle then travels to the cell membrane to be released out of the cell.
Vesicles receive enzymes from the tubular endoplasmic reticulum where the vesicle then travels to the cell membrane to be released out of the cell.

Macrophages are types of cells in humans that move around in tissues, engulfing microbes and foreign particles and digesting the engulfed material to clean our tissues of undesired particles. Considering this specific activity of macrophages, what two cell structures do we expect to play an important role in this type of cell and why?
nuclei and chloroplasts, because they play a role in cell control and sugar production.
mitochondria and lysosomes, because they play a role in energy production and particle digestion.
A big central vacuole and ribosomes, because they play a role in cell storage and protein synthesis.
Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, because they play a role in cell transport and protein synthesis.
While in Science class, Caleb’s teacher asked the class to create an explanation of two organelles that work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins out of a eukaryotic animal cell. Which student provided the BEST explanation of the two organelles that work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins out of the cell?
Marsha stated that the nucleus and the mitochondria work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins by directing and providing the cell with energy to create proteins so that they can be taken out of the cell.
Seray stated that the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi body work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins by delivering and packaging proteins so that they can be taken out of the cell.
Xavier stated that the cell wall and the vacuole work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins by providing internal support and pressure so that proteins can be taken out of the cell.
Marjuree stated that the ribosome and the cytoplasm work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins by creating proteins and providing them with a means to be taken out of the cell.
Which organelle is the storehouse of a cell's genetic information?
mitochondrion
chloroplast
centriole
nucleus
What is the main function of the Golgi apparatus?
a. communicate with other cells
b. convert solar energy to chemical energy
c. process and deliver proteins
d. copy genetic material
Which organelles are unique to plant cells?
a. ribosomes
b. vacuoles
c. chloroplasts
d. centrosomes
Which organelles supply energy to the cell?
ribosomes
centrosomes
mitochondria
vacuoles
Which explanation accurately describes one way in which pairs of organelles interact to maintain homeostasis within cells?
Ribosomes produce carbohydrates that are sorted by the Golgi.
Lysosomes contain enzymes that can digest the contents of vacuoles.
Mitochondria store energy, and chloroplasts release energy for the cell.
The cell membrane synthesizes the lipid components of the endoplasmic reticulum.
An herbicide (kills and controls unwanted plants) has been used on weeds in a garden. A scientist wants to understand the mechanism of action for this herbicide and examines a plant cell that has been treated with the herbicide. She discovers that the cell can no longer withstand hypotonic (swelling) solutions and will lyse (damage, destroy or die) due to the treatment. Which of the following statements BEST explains which organelle the herbicide damages and why?
The herbicide must have damaged the cell membrane, as it is responsible for maintaining the integrity of protecting the cell and managing water passing in and out of the cell.
The herbicide must have damaged the nuclear membrane, as it is responsible for controlling particle movement into and out of the cell.
The herbicide must have damaged the cell wall, as it is responsible for supporting and maintaining the integrity of the cell.
The herbicide must have damaged the cytoplasm, as it is responsible for protecting and supporting the cell.
Greg argues that chloroplasts and the mitochondria both work together to maintain homeostasis within the cell. Which explanation CORRECTLY justifies Greg's argument and why?
Greg’s argument is justifiable because the chloroplast and mitochondria both convert the potential energy of organic compounds into a suitable form for immediate use by the cell.
Greg’s argument is justifiable because the chloroplast and mitochondria both convert kinetic energy of organic compounds into a suitable form for immediate use by the cell.
Greg’s argument is justifiable because the chloroplast and mitochondria both convert potential energy of inorganic compounds into a suitable form for immediate use by the cell.
Greg's argument is justifiable because the chloroplast and mitochondria both convert kinetic energy of inorganic compounds into a suitable form for immediate use by the cell.
