1.

Which of the following is a function of the Golgi apparatus?

a)

Detoxification of the cell and lipid synthesis.

b)

Protein and rRNA synthesis.

c)

Synthesis of chemical energy (adenosine triphosphate).

d)

Chemical modification of newly synthesized proteins before they are packaged for trafficking to other parts of the cell or outside of the cell.

2.
Prokaryotic cell
a)
a cell that lacks a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles; includes achaea and bacteria
b)
a cell containing a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
c)
the idea that the mitochonria and chloroplasts were once free living and were engulfed by other prokaryotic cells.
d)
 part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction
3.
This organelle makes the lipids that make the cell membrane
a)
Smooth ER
b)
Cell Wall
c)
Vacuole
d)
Mitochondria
4.

Centrosome/Centrioles

a)

creates energy (ATP) from food; site of cellular respiration

b)

stores food, water, or wastes with the cell; plant cells have a special vacuole

c)

uses enzymes to digest bacteria, viruses, and old organelles (old cell parts are recycled)

d)

create special structures called spindle fibers that are used in cell division

5.
Ribosomes
a)
a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction
b)
non membrane bounded organelles responsible for protein synthesis;found in eukaryotes and porkaryotes
c)
System of internal membranes within the cytoplasm. Membranes are rough due to the presence of ribosomes. functions in transport of substances such as proteins within the cytoplasm
d)
An endomembrane system where lipids are synthesized, calcium levels are regulated, and toxic substances are broken down.
6.

Disarms dangerous free radicals by converting them to hydrogen peroxide; detoxifies harmful poisons and other substances

a)

Mitochondria

b)

Lysosome

c)

Peroxisome

d)

Centrioles

e)

Ribosome

the idea that the mitochonria and chloroplasts were once free living and were engulfed by other prokaryotic cells.
d)
a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction

Chloroplasts

c)

Lysosomes

d)

Peroxisomes

10.

Mitochondrion

a)

Stacks of pancake-like membranes that package materials to ship out of the cell.

b)

c)

Bean-shaped organelle filled with folded membranes / Breaks down glucose to release energy for cell functions

d)

The protective outer layer that controls what enters and leaves the cell.
