DOK Level 1: Recall

Explain how the structure of the cell membrane contributes to its function.

• The cell membrane is rigid, which helps it maintain cell shape.

• The cell membrane is composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins, allowing selective permeability.

• The cell membrane is made of cellulose, providing structural support.

• The cell membrane is a single layer of lipids, making it impermeable.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Describe the relationship between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus in protein synthesis and transport.

• The endoplasmic reticulum produces proteins, which are then transported to the Golgi apparatus for modification and packaging.

• The Golgi apparatus produces proteins, which are then transported to the endoplasmic reticulum for modification and packaging.

• Both the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus produce proteins independently.

• The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus do not interact in protein synthesis and transport.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Analyze how a malfunction in the mitochondria could affect the overall function of a cell.

• The cell would be unable to produce proteins.

• The cell would be unable to control what enters and leaves.

• The cell would have reduced energy production, affecting all energy-dependent processes.

• The cell would be unable to store genetic information.

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Evaluate the impact of a defective ribosome on cellular function.

• The cell would be unable to produce energy.

• The cell would be unable to synthesize proteins, affecting growth and repair.

• The cell would be unable to transport materials.

• The cell would be unable to divide.

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Compare and contrast the roles of the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

• Both are involved in protein synthesis.

• The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis, while the smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.

• The smooth ER is involved in protein synthesis, while the rough ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.

• Both are involved in lipid synthesis.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Predict the consequences of a mutation that prevents the nucleus from functioning properly.

• The cell would be unable to produce energy.

• The cell would be unable to control what enters and leaves.

• The cell would be unable to store and transmit genetic information, affecting cell division and function.

• The cell would be unable to synthesize lipids.
