• Waste storage

• Energy production

• Protein synthesis

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Name two types of cell organelles involved in protein synthesis.

• ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum

• vacuoles and cytoskeleton

• mitochondria and lysosomes

• nucleus and Golgi apparatus

What is the main function of the cell membrane?

• Store genetic material

• Regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell

• Provide structural support to the cell

• Produce energy for the cell

Explain the term 'selectively permeable' in relation to the cell membrane.

• The cell membrane allows all substances to pass through without any restriction.

• The cell membrane allows only certain substances to pass through while restricting the passage of others.

• The cell membrane only allows water to pass through and blocks all other substances.

• The cell membrane has no control over what substances can pass through.

What is the primary function of mitochondria in a cell?

• Storing genetic material

• Regulating cell growth

• Producing glucose through photosynthesis

• Producing energy through cellular respiration

Explain how the structure of the mitochondria is related to its function.

• The structure of the mitochondria is related to its function by providing support for the cell membrane.

• The structure of the mitochondria is related to its function by storing water for the cell.

• The structure of the mitochondria is related to its function by controlling the movement of nutrients into the cell.

• The structure of the mitochondria is related to its function by providing a large surface area for cellular respiration to occur, allowing for the production of ATP.

What is the difference between passive and active cellular transport?

• Passive transport requires more energy than active transport

• Active transport does not involve the movement of molecules

• Passive transport only occurs in plant cells

• Passive transport does not require energy, while active transport requires energy in the form of ATP.

Describe the process of endocytosis and give an example of a substance that enters the cell through this process.

• An example of a substance that enters the cell through endocytosis is water

• Endocytosis is the process of breaking down nutrients in the cell

• An example of a substance that enters the cell through endocytosis is the uptake of cholesterol by cells.

• The process of endocytosis involves the release of substances out of the cell

What is the role of protein pumps in active transport?

• They help in the synthesis of ATP in the cell

• They are responsible for maintaining the cell shape

• They break down molecules in the cell membrane

• They transport molecules or ions across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.

Explain the concept of osmosis and its importance in cellular transport.

• Osmosis is the movement of air molecules across a selectively permeable membrane

• Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of lower water concentration to an area of higher water concentration

• Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. It is important in cellular transport as it helps maintain the balance of water and solutes inside the cell.

• Osmosis is not important in cellular transport
