Question

for questions 6 - 11, use the diagram below.

1. identify the structure labeled d.

a. golgi apparatus
b. vesicles
c. ribosomes
d. lysosomes

1. what is the name and function of structure b?

a. chloroplast - converts sunlight into chemical energy usable for the plant.
b. mitochondria - converts nutrients into cellular energy, providing energy to power chemical reactions in the cell.
c. chloroplast - converts o₂ into co₂ to be released into the atmosphere.
d. mitochondria - converts sunlight into chemical energy usable for the plant.

1. identify the structures labeled c, d, and e.

a. the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and golgi apparatus.
b. the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.
c. the nucleus, ribosomes, and chloroplasts.
d. the endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, and golgi apparatus.

1. the structures labeled c, d, and e work together to perform a specific process within the cell. these structures work together to...

a. convert nutrients into chemical energy necessary for the cell to function.
b. make, package, sort, and transport proteins to various parts of the cell.
c. create high levels of turgor pressure to provide structural support.
d. provide storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth to the cell.

Explanation:

• Question 6: Vesicles are small membrane - bound sacs. They are involved in transporting materials within the cell. In the cell diagram, structure D is likely vesicles.
• Question 7: Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. They convert nutrients into cellular energy (ATP) through cellular respiration. Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis (converting sunlight into chemical energy) and are not structure B.
• Question 8: The endoplasmic reticulum (C) is a network of membranes. Ribosomes (D) are small structures attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (involved in protein synthesis). The Golgi apparatus (E) modifies, sorts, and packages proteins.
• Question 9: The endoplasmic reticulum makes proteins (in the case of rough ER), ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis, and the Golgi apparatus packages, sorts, and transports these proteins.

Answer:

1. b. Vesicles
2. b. Mitochondria – converts nutrients into cellular energy, providing energy to power chemical reactions in the cell.
3. d. The endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, and golgi apparatus.
4. b. Make, package, sort, and transport proteins to various parts of the cell.
