Cell Biology Quiz

• The nucleus occupies about 10% of the cell's volume and has a double membrane called the nuclear envelope with nuclear pores.
• The nucleolus is an organelle within the nucleus that synthesizes components of ribosomes.
• Chromatin consists of DNA molecules bound with histone proteins and condenses into chromosomes before cell division.
• Mitochondria are sites of most aerobic respiration reactions and have two membranes, with the inner membrane folded into cristae for increased surface area.
• The Golgi apparatus consists of flattened membrane-bound sacs that modify proteins, including adding tags that determine their final destination.
• The Golgi apparatus acts as a cellular post office that distributes molecules.
• Modified molecules are released from the Golgi apparatus in vesicles to be carried to other parts of the cell or to the plasma membrane for exocytosis.
• Vesicles can also form lysosomes.
• The electron-transport system in the inner membrane of mitochondria produces most of the ATP.
• The Golgi apparatus converts proteins into glycoproteins.
