a)
Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus and Eukaryotic cells do not
b)
Prokaryotic cells are unicellular and Eukaryotic cells are multicellular.

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, Eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus.

The following cell structures are located within cells that make proteins.  

Which description  best  explains the relationship among these cell structures in making a protein?  

nucleus  

ribosome  

endoplasmic reticulum (ER)  

a)

nucleus makes protein → protein winds through the ER → protein folds into its active shape  

b)

nucleus directs ER to assemble the protein → ribosomes surround protein → protein folds into its active shape  

c)

ER creates protein → DNA in the nucleus codes for ribosomes to surround protein → protein folds into its active shape  

d)

DNA in nucleus codes for protein → protein assembled in ribosomes and moves to ER → protein folds into its active shape  

3.

Several parts of an animal cell are involved in the processes of protein synthesis, packaging, and export. Which of the following correctly places the cell parts in the order in which they are involved? 

a)

nucleus → vacuole →  cell membrane 

b)

mitochondria → vacuole →  cell membrane 

c)

 ribosome → endoplasmic reticulum → Golgi apparatus → cell membrane 

d)

 lysosome → endoplasmic reticulum → Golgi apparatus → cell membrane 

4.

Many different microscopic organisms can be found in pond ecosystems, including the three organisms shown in the diagrams below. The primary cellular structures in each of these single-celled organisms are labeled in the diagrams. Some of the structures are common to all three organisms and other structures are not.  

Which of the following is a function of the nucleus in organism 2? 

a)

absorbing sunlight 

b)

releasing usable energy 

c)

storing genetic material 

d)

producing food molecules
