Questions and Answers

Which of the following is a function of the Golgi apparatus in a cell?

  • Storing genetic material and regulating gene expression
  • Producing energy for the cell through cellular respiration
  • Facilitating protein synthesis in the cytoplasm
  • Synthesizing carbohydrates and packaging macromolecules for transport (correct)
  • Which of the following best describes the function of the enzyme DNA polymerase?

  • Repairing damaged DNA strands by removing and replacing nucleotides
  • Facilitating the transcription of RNA from a DNA template
  • Breaking down DNA molecules into their respective nucleotides
  • Catalyzing the synthesis of new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to a pre-existing strand (correct)
  • What is the primary function of the mitochondria in a cell?

  • Generating ATP through cellular respiration (correct)
  • Facilitating protein synthesis and modification
  • Detoxifying harmful substances within the cell
  • Storing and transmitting genetic information
  • Study Notes

    Cellular Functions

    • The Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing and modifying proteins and lipids synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum, and packaging them for transport to other parts of the cell or for secretion outside the cell.

    DNA Replication

    • DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to a template strand, ensuring accurate replication of genetic material.

    Cellular Energy Production

    • The primary function of mitochondria is to generate energy for the cell through cellular respiration, producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) from the energy released by the breakdown of nutrients.
