3). B. peripheral proteins are found on the outer surface of a cell membrane. (t or f)
Ans: b. True
4). C. exocytosis is the process that occurs to bring biomacromolecules inside the cell. (t or f)
Ans: c. False- (This process is called endocytosis)
5). D. receptor mediated endocytosis uses a signaling molecule from another cell, binding to
the cell membrane to bring about changes within the cell proteins. (t or f)
Ans: d. True
6). E. endocytosis is a passive process. it does not require cellular energy expenditure.(t or f)
Ans: e. False- (Endocytosis is an active process and requires cellular energy)
7). In your own words, discuss tay sachs disease. what organelle within the cell is impacted?
what are the symptoms of the disease and why do they occur?
Ans: (1)Lysosomes (2) buildup of toxic lipids inside the cell (biomacromolecules) (3)
disability and death, In the genetic disease known as Tay Sachs, one of the normally
present digestive enzymes inside lysosomes is lacking. Thus, a toxic lipid in the brain
cells cannot be broken down. The resulting buildup of lipids in these cells can cause
intellectual disability and death.
