Cell Material Transport

The video explains the functions of various organelles within eukaryotic cells, focusing on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as a manufacturing and transport center. It describes the roles of rough and smooth ER, the process of protein transport to the Golgi apparatus, and the functions of vacuoles and lysosomes in waste management and nutrient digestion. The video concludes with the process of exocytosis, where vesicles release their contents outside the cell.

What is the primary function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

• To produce lipids

• To synthesize proteins

• To store calcium ions

• To detoxify chemicals

Which organelle is responsible for modifying and routing proteins to their destinations?

• Golgi apparatus

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Lysosome

What is one of the functions of vacuoles in a cell?

• Energy production

• Waste management

• DNA replication

• Protein synthesis

What role do lysosomes play in the cell?

• They store genetic information

• They produce energy

• They synthesize proteins

• They break down nutrients and bacteria

What is the process called when vesicles release their contents outside the cell?

• Exocytosis

• Phagocytosis

• Endocytosis

• Pinocytosis
