Alexis's teacher mentioned that vesicles work with the cell membrane to transport enzymes and maintain homeostasis. Which statement CORRECTLY explains how the vesicle works with the cell membrane?

• Vesicles receive enzymes from the chloroplast where the vesicle then travels to the cell membrane to be released out of the cell.

• Vesicles receive enzymes from the cytoplasm where the vesicle then travels to the cell membrane to be released out of the cell.

• Vesicles receive enzymes from the mitochondria where the vesicle then travels to the cell membrane to be released out of the cell.

• Vesicles receive enzymes from the tubular endoplasmic reticulum where the vesicle then travels to the cell membrane to be released out of the cell.

Macrophages are types of cells in humans that move around in tissues, engulfing microbes and foreign particles and digesting the engulfed material to clean our tissues of undesired particles. Considering this specific activity of macrophages, what two cell structures do we expect to play an important role in this type of cell and why?

• nuclei and chloroplasts, because they play a role in cell control and sugar production.

• mitochondria and lysosomes, because they play a role in energy production and particle digestion.

• A big central vacuole and ribosomes, because they play a role in cell storage and protein synthesis.

• Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, because they play a role in cell transport and protein synthesis.

While in Science class, Caleb’s teacher asked the class to create an explanation of two organelles that work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins out of a eukaryotic animal cell. Which student provided the BEST explanation of the two organelles that work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins out of the cell?

• Marsha stated that the nucleus and the mitochondria work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins by directing and providing the cell with energy to create proteins so that they can be taken out of the cell.

• Seray stated that the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi body work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins by delivering and packaging proteins so that they can be taken out of the cell.

• Xavier stated that the cell wall and the vacuole work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins by providing internal support and pressure so that proteins can be taken out of the cell.

• Marjuree stated that the ribosome and the cytoplasm work together to maintain homeostasis and transport proteins by creating proteins and providing them with a means to be taken out of the cell.

Which organelle is the storehouse of a cell's genetic information?

• mitochondrion

• chloroplast

• centriole

• nucleus
