Function of Organelles

The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is the:
1. synthesis of DNA
2. processing of large molecules such as proteins and lipids
3. generation of cellular energy in the form of ATP
4. storage of water
Though some DNA is found in the mitochondria, most of the genetic information of the cell is stored
1. in the structure labeled "A"
2. in the structure labeled "B"
3. in the structure labeled "C"
4. in the structure labeled "D"
5. in the structure labeled "E"
6. in the structure labeled "F"
Generation of energy through cellular respiration takes place
1. in the structure labeled "A"
2. in the structure labeled "B"
3. in the structure labeled "C"
4. in the structure labeled "D"
5. in the structure labeled "E"
6. in the structure labeled "F"
Transport of lipids takes place
1. in the structure labeled "A"
2. in the structure labeled "B"
3. in the structure labeled "C"
4. in the structure labeled "D"
5. in the structure labeled "E"
6. in the structure labeled "F"
Ribosomes attach to
1. the structure labeled "A" giving it a "rough" appearance
2. the structure labeled "B" giving it a "rough" appearance
3. the structure labeled "C" giving it a "rough" appearance
4. the structure labeled "D" giving it a "rough" appearance
5. the structure labeled "E" giving it a "rough" appearance
6. the structure labeled "F" giving it a "rough" appearance
Which of the following helps you determine that the cell above is NOT a plant cell?

2. It has a nucleus
3. It has mitochondria
4. It has chloroplasts
5. There is no large, central vacuole
Which of the following would help you conclude that the cell shown here is a plant cell?
1. The presence of chloroplasts
2. The presence of the Golgi apparatus
3. The rigid cell wall
4. The large, central vacuole
5. The absence of a rough endoplasmic reticulum
The structure labeled "A" has the function of
1. providing rigidity and preventing water loss
2. converting sunlight to chemical energy
3. processing and transporting macromolecules such as proteins and lipids
4. protecting the cell's DNA
The structure labeled "B" has the function of
1. providing rigidity and preventing water loss
2. converting sunlight to chemical energy
3. transporting proteins produced by the attached ribosomes
4. transporting fats to the nucleus
The structure labeled "C" has the function of
1. providing rigidity and preventing water loss
2. converting sunlight to energy
3. transporting proteins produced by the attached ribosomes
4. transporting fats to the nucleus
The structure labeled "G" has the function of
1. storage and support
2. converting sunlight to energy
3. transporting proteins produced by the attached ribosomes
4. converting food energy to ATP
The structure labeled "H" has the function of
1. storage and support
2. converting sunlight to energy

2. The structure labeled "B"
3. The structure labeled "C"
4. The structure labeled "D"
5. The structure labeled "E"
The antibiotic tetracycline interferes with the function of bacterial ribosomes. Because bacterial ribosomes are different from the ribosomes in human cells, taking tetracyline only stops
1. the production of bacterial protein
2. the formation of the bacterial cell wall
3. the storage of water in bacterial cells
4. the processing and transport of lipids in the bacterial cell
