Expert Group 3: Organelles

Grace, Benjamin, and Oliver are working on a science project about cell functions. They are discussing the role of the Golgi apparatus. According to their research, what is the primary purpose of the Golgi apparatus?

• It functions like a packaging department, preparing proteins for their destinations

• It serves as a storage unit, holding the cell's genetic information

Benjamin, Mason, and Kai are working on a science project about cells. They are discussing the role of the mitochondria in cells. According to their research, what is the primary function of the mitochondria?

• To break down waste molecules

• To produce energy

William, Abigail, and Ethan are studying cell biology. They are discussing the differences between the smooth ER and the rough ER. William says, 'Smooth ER makes proteins, while rough ER makes lipids.' Abigail says, 'Smooth ER is covered with ribosomes, while rough ER is not.' Ethan says, 'Smooth ER packages proteins, while rough ER breaks down waste molecules.' Who is correct?

• Ethan

• Abigail

Ava, Avery, and Evelyn are working on a science project about cells. They are discussing about a particular organelle. Avery says it's an organelle that stores genetic information, Ava thinks it's an organelle that packages proteins, but Evelyn believes it's an organelle that recycles waste. Which student is describing a lysosome?

• Evelyn

• Ava

Liam, Priya, and Aria are studying biology. They learned that cells produce a main product that is essential for their function. What is this main product?

• Genetic information

• Proteins

Avery, Noah, and Olivia are working on a science project about cells. They are discussing about the organelle responsible for cellular respiration. Which organelle are they discussing?

• Vesicles

• Mitochondria

Benjamin, Ava, and Noah are working on a school project about cells. They are discussing the role of vesicles in cells. Ava suggests that vesicles function like a delivery truck in a big city. What does she mean by this?

• Vesicles transport materials around the cell like a delivery truck

• Vesicles break down waste molecules like a garbage truck

Abigail, Ava, and Hannah are working on a school project about plant cells. They are particularly interested in the role of vacuoles. Can you help them understand what is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?

• They are used to store water and nutrients in the plant cell

• They are responsible for packaging proteins in the plant cell

Michael, Grace, and Mia are studying for their biology exam. They are discussing where proteins are made in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. What should they conclude?

• Golgi apparatus

• Ribosomes

Ava is working on a science project about cell functions. She is studying the Golgi apparatus and wants to know its function. What would you tell her?

• It's function is to store genetic information

• It's function is to package proteins
