Eukaryotic cells are composed of..
Ans: * Multiple internal membranes that form organelles
Quiz Organelles
Ans: * Living compartments inside the cell that serve a particular role in maintaining the health
and function of the cell
_ Certain biochemical processes necessary for cell survival cannot occur in the regular internal
environment of the cell due to denaturation of proteins or competition between various
enzymes
Quiz What is the purpose of compartmentalization?
Ans: * Ensures an appropriate environment that will allow these processes to function properly
Quiz How is the cell separated from the external environment?
,Ans: * By the plasma membrane
Quiz What is the plasma membrane composed of?
Ans: * Phospholipids, proteins and carbohydrates
Quiz What functions does the plasma membrane play a role in?
Ans: * Cell-cell adhesion
* Cell protection
* Cell communication
Quiz What is the intracellular environment composed of?
Ans: * Fluid (cytosol)
* Solid living compartments (organelles)
Quiz Where does glycolysis occur?
Ans: * Cytosol
_ This is the first step in the breakdown of carbohydrates into ATP
Quiz Nucleus
,Ans: * Cell organelle
* Contains DNA in the form of chromosomes
Quiz What purpose do chromosomes serve?
Ans: * The genetic blueprint of the cell
Quiz What processes occur in the nucleus?
Ans: * DNA replication
* mRNA transcription
* tRNA transcription
Quiz Nucleolus
Ans: * A region within the nucleus which contains dense chromatin and serves as the site for
rRNA transcription
Quiz Where does rRNA transcription occur?
Ans: * Nucleolus
Quiz Ribosomes
, Ans: * Cell organelles
* Non-membrane bound structures that are essential for translation of mRNA into proteins
Quiz What organelle is important in translation of mRNA into proteins?
Ans: * Ribosomes
Quiz Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Ans: * Cell organelle
* Surrounds and is connected to the perinuclear space of the nucleus and is bound to multiple
ribosomes
* Involved with the production of extracellular proteins
Quiz What organelle is involved in the production of extracellular proteins?
Ans: * Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Quiz Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
