AP Biology Unit 2 Organelles

Front

What organelle is responsible for storing calcium?

Back

Smooth ER

Front

How does the location of the ribosome affect the type of protein product?

Back

Free ribosomes synthesize cytosolic proteins, while bound ribosomes synthesize membrane proteins.

Front

What organelle is responsible for digesting macromolecules and is involved in Tay Sachs disease?

Back

Lysosome

Front

What is a function of the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?

Back

Detoxification and lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus in a cell?

Back

Modification, sorting, and packaging of proteins for secretion.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

Digestion of macromolecules and recycling of cellular components.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth ER?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and synthesizes proteins, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and synthesizes lipids.

Front

What organelle is involved in the synthesis of ATP?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
