Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of the nucleus in a cell?

  • Digests certain materials and defends the body
  • Controls the shape and function of the cell, and contains DNA (correct)
  • Contributes to the formation of cilia and flagella
  • Produces ribosomes and facilitates cell movement
  • Which organelle is responsible for digestion of certain materials in a cell?

  • Lysosome (correct)
  • Cilia

  • Ribosomes
  • What is a distinguishing feature of eukaryotic cells?

  • They lack a true nucleus and are primarily unicellular organisms
  • They have a true nucleus and lack membrane-bound organelles
  • They have a true nucleus and include both multicellular and unicellular organisms (correct)
  • They lack membrane-bound organelles and include only multicellular organisms

    Study Notes

    Characteristics of Amoeba

    • Uni-cellular organism
    • Has pseudopodia
    • Eukaryotic cell

    Characteristics of Yeast

    • Eukaryotic cell
    • From the Fungus Kingdom
    • Used in food and medicine (e.g., Penicillium is used as an antibiotic and in cheese making)

    Functions of Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough)

    • Has ribosomes
    • Protects the cytoplasm
    • Helps in the synthesis of proteins and their transportation

    Functions of Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth)

    • Lacks ribosomes
    • Involved in the synthesis of lipids
    • Involved in the synthesis of glycogen

    Functions of Mitochondria

    • Act as main power generators
    • Contain respiratory enzymes
    • Rich in calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg)

    Functions of Golgi Apparatus

    • Found in tooth enamel
    • Involved in the formation of primary lysosomes
    • Processes, modifies, and packages proteins and lipids produced by the endoplasmic reticulum, directing them to their final destinations within or outside the cell
