Cell Structure Test Flashcards
A group of mutations, known as MT-ND1, have been identified in mitochondrial DNA. These mutations are associated with a number of debilitating diseases stemming from the production of nonfunctional proteins in the mitochondria. Which cellular deficiency would occur due to the mutations.
Lack of electron transport and ATP production.
Ribosomes are responsible for…
Protein synthesis. If the cell can’t form proteins, it’s a defect in the ribosomes.
Too many toxins in the cell could be a result of deficiencies in the process of…
Detoxification
Braking down materials is done by…
either smooth ER or lysosomes.
What happens in the golgi
Proper folding and tagging of proteins for release from cell.
Electron transport chain and ATP production are associated with proteins in the…
Inner membrane of mitochondria
Nonfunctional proteins in the mitochondrion are to result in…
Reduced ATP production
Which cellular component will be found in the widest range of organisms in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Ribosomes, all organisms need to synthesize proteins
What kind of cells don’t contain mitochondria
Prokaryotic
Which organelle is used to breakdown glucose
Mitochondria
Chloroplasts only found in

Cell walls found in…
Prokaryotic cells but not eukaryotes
Amino acids in…
Mitochondria
Amino acids are incorporated into…
Proteins
Lysosomes have what type of enzymes
Hydrolyric
Protein production in
Rough ER
Increasing number of folds in the inner mitochorial membrane is supported by…
Increases SA available for ATP production, faster cell growth
Water and cellular wastes are stored where?
Vacuoles
The transport of proteins to the plasma membrane typically involves the
endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi complex, and membrane-bound vesicles.
Fewer stomata is needed as…
Concentration of CO2 increases
Why is testosterone able to enter into the membrane?
It is nonpolar and can diffuse thru membrane
Steroids diffuse through
Phospholipid membrane
Steroids won’t firm..
Covalent bonds with peripheral membrane proteins.
Protein Channels allow…
Large or charged molecules that can’t cross the membrane
Testosterone charge
Uncharged and hydrophobic
The interior of a phospholipid bilayer is…
Hydrophobic
Region 1 of protein… region 2…
Region 1: interacts with aqueous environment: hydrophilic.
Region 2: interior of bilayer, hydrophobic
Cholesterol structure and function
iRegulate fluidity if cells plasma membrane, polar head and non polar region
What transport methods are affected by temperature
Active transport and diffusion, transport rates increase at increased temp
Active transport needs..
ATP.
Endocytosis of protein won’t occur when
Protein is unavailable outside cells
Changing concentration of a protein will change the…
Availability of protein outside the cells
What is endocytosis
Actively transporting molecules in cell by engulfing with membrane
What organelle digests food brought into cell with endocytosis
Lysosome
After a vesicles containing food fuses with lysosome, H+ ions…
Are transported into lysosome from cytosine
Lowering of pH of lysosome results in
Activating enzymes that digest
Simple diffusion allows molecules to move
Down a concentration gradient. Charged H ions can’t pass through bilayer without channel protein
Which of the following transport mechanisms will be affected most directly by a temporary shortage of ATP molecules inside the cell?
The transport of glucose molecules against a concentration gradient
