a. Rough ER
b. Endosome
c. Golgi body
d. Extracellular matrix
e. Transport vesicle

Q

iClicker: Input of water into the plant vacuole causes it to swell and increase in size. Why does the cell not increase in size with the vacuole?

a. Plant cells do not have plasma membranes
b. The presence of the plant cell wall
c. The nucleus pushes the vacuole back
d. Water is a liquid and thus does not affect cell volume

Q

iClicker: Eukaryotic cells are a factor of 10 larger than prokaryotic cells. What accounts for the difference in size?

a. Eukaryotes are only found in multicellular organisms, which means they have to be bigger
b. They have more nuclei so have to be larger to accommodate them
c. Organelles increase functionality which allows cells to be bigger
d. Prokaryotes divide by splitting so always get smaller
