Accepted Answer

To increase the surface area for ATP production during aerobic respiration.

Question 2

A cell that specializes in detoxifying harmful substances, such as a liver cell, would likely have an abundance of which organelle?

Accepted Answer

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Question 3

Which of the following statements about the plasma membrane is correct?

Accepted Answer

It is primarily composed of phospholipids with hydrophilic heads facing outward.

Question 4

A mutation that prevents the formation of nucleoli would most directly affect which cellular process?

Accepted Answer

Ribosome assembly

Question 5

Which organelle is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion or delivery to other organelles?

Accepted Answer

Golgi apparatus

Question 6

If a cell is observed to have an extensive network of microvilli, what can you infer about its function?

Accepted Answer

It is specialized for absorption.

Question 7

Which of the following best describes the role of ribosomes bound to the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Accepted Answer

They synthesize proteins destined for secretion, membranes, or lysosomes.

Question 8

A genetic disorder causes a defect in the acid hydrolases of lysosomes. Which cellular process would be most directly affected?

Accepted Answer

Intracellular digestion and recycling of cellular components

Question 9

Which cytoskeletal element is primarily responsible for the movement of cilia and flagella?

Accepted Answer

Microtubules

Question 10

During cell division, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes. What is the main advantage of this condensation?

Accepted Answer

It protects fragile DNA strands from damage during segregation.

Question 11

Which of the following best explains why different cell types in the human body can have different functions despite having the same DNA?

Accepted Answer

They express different sets of genes from the same DNA.

Question 12

A neuron must transport neurotransmitter vesicles from the cell body down a long axon. Which cellular structure is most directly involved in this process?

Accepted Answer

Microtubules

Question 13

Which of the following is a function of peroxisomes?

Accepted Answer

Detoxification and neutralization of reactive substances

Question 14

A cell with abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus is most likely specialized for which function?

Question 16

Which of the following best describes the function of the cytoskeleton?

Accepted Answer

It provides structural support and facilitates movement of cell components.

Question 17

A cell is observed to have a large number of peroxisomes. Which of the following is the most likely function of this cell?

Accepted Answer

Neutralizing toxins and metabolizing fatty acids

Question 18

Which of the following is NOT a function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Accepted Answer

Protein synthesis for export

Question 19

Which of the following best explains why compartmentalization by organelles is advantageous for eukaryotic cells?

Accepted Answer

It allows different chemical environments and greater regulation of cellular processes.

Question 20

Which of the following best describes the relationship between chromatin, histones, and gene expression?

Accepted Answer

Chemical modifications of histones can regulate gene expression by altering chromatin structure.
