Based on the information provided, Gaucher disease results most directly from a defect in the function of which of the following organelles?

A

The lysosome

160
Q

The _________ contains specific enzymes used to break down a variety of molecules and cellular waste products.

A

lysosome

161
Q

Testosterone is a small steroid hormone that is important in cell signaling. Which of the following describes where testosterone enters a cell and why it is able to cross at that point?

A

testosterone is nonpolar and can diffuse through the membrane.

162
Q

Researchers investigate the transport of a certain protein into cells by endocytosis. In an experiment, the researchers incubate the cells in the presence of the protein and measure the amount of the protein that is absorbed into the cells over a five-minute period.

Based on their observations, what should the researchers do to further clarify how the availability of the protein outside the cells affects the rate of endocytosis of the protein?

A

Incubate the cells in the presence of several different concentrations of the protein.

163
Q

Which of the following transport mechanisms will be affected most directly by a temporary shortage of ATP molecules inside the cell?

A

The transport of glucose molecules against a concentration gradient

164
Q

Photosynthesis is a process used by both _________ and some _________.

A

eukaryotes (algae and plants), prokaryotes (cyanobacteria)

165
Q

Which of the following observations best supports the claim that mitochondria evolved from once-free-living prokaryotic cells by the process of endocytosis?

A

Mitochondria has a double membrane

166
Q

The double membranes of mitochondria provide evidence that an ancestor of mitochondria, which was most likely a type of free-living ______ ________, was ingested via endocystosis by a ________ eukaryotic cell.

A

aerobic bacterium, primitive

167
Q

Beetroot cells contain a family of dark red pigments called betalains. The selectively permeable nature of the beetroot cells keeps the internal environment of the cell separate from the external environment of the cell. Researchers are interested in determining whether the selective permeability of beetroot cells is due to the cell membrane or if it is due to the cell wall.

Exposure to cellulase is known to damage the structure of the cell wall. An experiment is set up in which beetroot cells are placed in an aqueous solution with cellulase and in one without cellulase.

Which of the following results best refutes the alternative hypothesis that selective permeability is a consequence of the cell wall?

A

When beetroot cells are placed in a solution with cellulase, the solution remains clear.

168
Q

Cellulase digests _______ and damages the structure of the cell _____, not the cell ________. The lack of color change in the solution indicates that the betalain is not leaking out of the beetroot cells even though the cell wall has been damaged. This refutes the alternative hypothesis.

A

cellulose, wall, membrane

169
Q

Why do the hydrolytic enzymes released by lysosomes when they fuse with damaged organelles do not continue to act on other health functioning organelles are the targeted organelle is broken down and recycled?

A

Enzymes of lysosomes = acidic pH for functional shape

alkaline pH of cytosol quickly denatures them

170
Q

A researcher studying membrane dynamics fuses two small cubiodal cells together to form one cell. What happens to the cell due to the altered SA:V?

A

The cell will have difficulty taking in and eliminating nutrients and waste materials.

171
Q

The HYDROPHOBIC tails of the cell membrane phospholipid bilayer prevent large quantities of ______ from entering the cell without _______ _______.

A

water, transport proteins

172
Q

The HYDROPHILLIC heads of the cell membrane phospholipid bilayer allow large quantities of ______ from entering the cell without _______ _______.

A

small, nonpolar molecules; transport proteins

173
Q

Potassium ions (K+) will use ______ diffusion to travel ACROSS GRADIENT to the less concentrated, HYPOTONIC cell solution

A

facilitated

174
Q

Potassium ions (K+) will use ______ _______ to travel AGAINST GRADIENT to the concentrated, HYPERTONIC cell solution

A

active transport
