When biologists wish to study the internal ultrastructure of cells, they most likely would use
a transmission electronic microscope
the advantage of light microscopy over electron microscopy is that
light microscopy allows one to view dynamic processes in living cells
in the fractionation of homogenized cells using centrifugation, the primary factor that determines whether a specific cellular component ends up in the supernatant or the pellet is
the size and weight of carbs in the component
all of the following are part of a prokaryotic cell EXCEPT
an endoplasmic reticulum
the volume enclosed by the plasma membrane of plant cells is often much larger than the corresponding volume in animal cells the most reasonable explanation for this observation is that
plant cells contain a large vacuole that reduces the volume of the cytoplasm
which of the following is a major cause of size limits for certain types of cells?
the need for surface area of sufficient area to allow the cell's function
large numbers of ribosomes are present in cells that specialize in producing which of the following molecules?
proteins
the nuclear lamina is an array of filaments on the inner side of the nuclear membrane. if a method were found that could cause the lamina to fall into disarray, what would you expect to be the most likely consequence?
a change in the shape of the nucleus
under which of the following conditions would you expects to find a cell with a predominanance of free ribosomes?
a cell that is producing cytoplasmic enzymes
which type of organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils, phospholipids, and steroids?
smooth er
which structure is the site of the synthesis of proteins that may be exported from the cell?
rough er
the golgi apparatus has a polarity or sidedness to its structure and function. which of the following statements correctly describes its polarity?
all of the above
#12 chapter 6--dont think its that important and way too much to write them all out just know its all of the above
in the animal cells hydrolytic enzymes are packaged to prevent general destruction of cellular components. which of the following organelles functions in this compartmentalization?
lysosome
tay sachs disease is a human genetic abnormality that results in cells accumulating and becoming clogged with very large and complex lipids. which cellular organelle must be involved in this condition?
lysosome
the liver is involved in the detoxification of many poisons and drugs. which of the following structures is primarily involved in this process and therefore abundant in liver cells?
smooth er
which of the following contains hydrolytic enzymes?
lysosomes
which is one of the main energy transformers of cells?
mitochondrion
which of the following contains enzymes that transfer hydrogen from various substrates to oxygen?
peroxisome
the chemical reactions involved in respiration are virtually identical between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. in eukaryotic cells, ATP is synthesized primarily on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. where are the corresponding reactions likely to occur in prokaryotic respiration?
on the inner plasma membrane
a cell has the following molecules and structures: enzymes, DNA, plasma membrane, and mitochondria. it could be a cell from
a plant or an animal
the peroxisome gets its name from its interaction with hydrogen peroxide. if a liver cell is detoxigying alcohol and some other poisons, it does so by removal of hydrogen from the molecules. what then do the enzymes of the peroxisome do?
transfer the hydrogens to oxygen molecules
motor proteins provide for molecular motion in cells by interacting with what types of cellular structures?
cytoskeletons
cells can be described as having a cytoskeleton of internal structures that contribute to the shape, organization, and the movement of the cell.which of the following are part of the cytoskeleton?
microfilaments
of the following which cell structure would most likely be visible with a light microscope that has been manufactered to the maximum resolving power possible?
mitochondrion
which of the following contain the 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules?
cilia and flagella (a and c only)
microfilaments are well known for their role in which of the following?
ameboid movement, formation of cleavage furrows, contracting of muscle cells (a,b, and c)
which of the following possess a microtubular structure similiar to a basal body?
centriole
cells require which of the following to form a cilia or flagella?
centrosomes and ribosomes (a and b)
which of the following relationships between cell structures and their respective functions is correct?
cell wall: support and protection
a cell lacking the ability to make and secrete glycoproteins would most likely be deficient in its
Extracellular matrix and golgi apparatus (b and c only)
ions can travel directly from the cytoplasm of one animal cell to the cytoplasm of an adjacent cell through
gap junctions
which statement correctly characterizes bound ribosomes
bound ribosomes generally synthesize membrane proteins and secretory proteins
which structure is not part of the endomembrane system?
chloroplast
cells of the pancreas will incorporate labeled amino acids into proteins. this "tagging" of newly synthesized proteins enables a researcher to track their location. in this case we are tracking an enzyme secreted by pancreatic cells. what is its most likely pathway?
ER-->golgi-->vesicles that fuse with plasma membrane
which structure is common to plant and animal cells?
mitochondrion
which of the following is present in a prokaryotic cell?
ribosome
which cell would be best for studying lysosomes?
phagocytic white blood cell
which structure-function pair is mismatched?
mictrotubule;muscle contraction
