Question

1. within which structure of an animal cell does protein synthesis take place? a. endoplasmic reticulum b. ribosomes c. golgi body d. lysosome 3. what function do the golgi apparatus perform inside the cell? a. disposing of waste in the cell b. transporting large molecules around the cell c. packaging and labeling protein molecules for transport d. providing energy to the cell 4. which structures are listed in order from the least complex to the most complex? a. plant cell, leaf, chloroplast, rose bush b. chloroplast, plant cell, leaf, rose bush c. chloroplast, leaf, plant cell, rose bush d. rose bush, leaf, plant cell, chloroplast

Explanation:

• For question 2: Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis and transport, the Golgi body modifies, packages and sorts proteins, and lysosomes break down waste.
• For question 3: The Golgi apparatus modifies, packages and labels protein molecules for transport within the cell or for secretion outside the cell. It is not involved in waste - disposal, large - molecule transport (that's more of the endoplasmic reticulum and vesicles), and energy - provision (that's mitochondria).
• For question 4: A chloroplast is an organelle within a plant cell. A plant cell is a basic unit of a plant. A leaf is a plant organ made up of many cells. A rose bush is a whole plant organism made up of many organs. So, from least to most complex is chloroplast, plant cell, leaf, rose bush.

Answer:

1. B. Ribosomes
2. C. Packaging and labeling protein molecules for transport
3. b. Chloroplast, plant cell, leaf, rose bush
