What is the primary function of the nuclear pore complex in regulating the movement of molecules across the nuclear membrane?

<p>The nuclear pore complex contains aqueous passages that allow for the passive diffusion of molecules up to 60,000 Daltons in size. (C)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Which of the following is the best explanation for the directional transport of molecules across the nuclear membrane, as described by the Ran-GTPase cycle?

<p>The location of Ran-GAP and Ran-GEF outside and inside the nucleus, respectively, creates an asymmetric distribution of Ran-GTP and Ran-GDP that drives directional transport. (D)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Which of the following pieces of evidence best supports the endosymbiotic theory of mitochondrial origin?

<p>The inner membrane of mitochondria is structurally and functionally similar to the plasma membrane of bacteria. (C)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Why is it significant that mitochondria do not synthesize most of their own proteins, despite having their own ribosomes?

<p>The cell maintains control over the production of mitochondrial proteins, ensuring the mitochondria remain dependent on the eukaryotic host cell. (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers
