Cell organelles

Question 1

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 1

translation and folding of new proteins
manufacture of lysosomal enzymes
site of N-linked glycosylation

Question 2

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 2

steroid, lipid synthesis
examples of cells with extensive SER include those of the adrenal cortex, hepatocytes, testes, ovaries

Question 3

Golgi apparatus

Answer 3

Modifies, sorts, and packages these molecules that are destined for cell secretion
The addition of mannose-6-phosphate to proteins designates transport to lysosome

Question 4

Mitochondrion

Answer 4

Aerobic respiration. Contains mitochondrial genome as circular DNA

Question 5

Nucleus

Answer 5

DNA maintenance
RNA transcription
RNA splicing
the process that removes the intervening, non-coding sequences of genes (introns) from pre-mRNA and joins the protein-coding sequences (exons)

Question 6

Lysosome

Answer 6

Breakdown of large molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides

Question 7

Nucleolus

Answer 7

Ribosome production

Question 8

Ribosome

Answer 8

Translation of RNA into proteins

Question 9

Peroxisome

Answer 9

Catabolism of very long chain fatty acids and amino acids
Results in the formation of hydrogen peroxide

Question 10

Proteasome

Answer 10

Along with the lysosome pathway involved in degradation of protein molecules that have been tagged with ubiquitin
