nucleus

Select ALL of the functions of a cell wall of a plant.

Cell walls provide the plant structural support allowing plants to grow upright.

Cell walls help the cell maintain a specific shape.

Cell walls help plant cell create turgor pressure.

The endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the nuclear envelope.

True

False

Which of these organelles in a eukaryotic cell has DNA housed within them. Select ALL of the correct answers.

nucleus

Golgi Apparatus

ribosomes

mitochondrion

endoplasmic reticulum

Place the following events in order.

  

Protein gets processed in the Golgi apparatus.

DNA synthesizes RNA via transcription.

Mature RNA leave the nucleus through the nuclear pore.

RNA is translated into a ribosome in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Protein leaves the rough endoplasmic reticulum in a transport vesicle.

Cellular respiration is more efficient at producing ATP than fermentation.

True

False

During the electron transport chain, energy from the molecules _____ is used to pump hydrogen ions into the _____.

NADH and FADH2 ... mitochondrial matrix

NADH and FADH2 ... intermembrane space

NADH ... intermembrane space

NADH ... mitochondrial matrix

In dephosphorylation, ATP is hydrolyzed into ADP and inorganic phosphate and _____.

energy remains constant

energy is released

energy is required

Without this molecule, cellular respiration does not happen, because it is the final electron acceptor. What is it?

O2

water

FADH2

CO2

Yeasts are single-celled eukaryotes that don't have a mitochondrion. Can they exist in an environment without oxygen?

Yes, yeasts can exist in an oxygen-poor environment. They will only be able to produce 2 net ATP via fermentation, but the absence of oxygen will not kill the organisms.

No, the presence of oxygen will kill yeast because they will not be able to undergo fermentation.

Sugar is "quick energy" because provides energy to the cell directly, whereas carbohydrates like starch must be broken down before the body can utilize the energy.

True

False

nucleolus

ribosome

nucleus

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

4. Cell walls provide the plant structural support allowing plants to grow upright.

Cell walls help the cell maintain a specific shape.

Cell walls help plant cell create turgor pressure.

5. True

6. nucleus, mitochondria
