Answer Key for End of Chapter Review Questions
1. What are the main components of the nucleus and the cytoplasm?
The main components of the cytoplasm are the mitochondria (ATP biosynthesis), ribosomes (protein synthesis), endoplasmic reticulum (ribosome attachment), Golgi apparatus (glycosylation), and lysosomes (protein degradation). The main components of the nucleus are the nuclear membrane, nucleoplasm, and nucleolus. The nucleoplasm contains chromatin, which undergoes periodic condensation to form chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. The nucleolus is the site of rRNA synthesis.
2. Which components of the cell contain RNA?
Multiple classes of RNAs (e.g., mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA) are found in the nucleus and the nucleolus and are associated with the ribosomes. RNA is also found in the cytosol and mitochondria.
3. Compare mitochondria with endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.
Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles with their own circular DNA. They are involved in ATP biosynthesis. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a meshwork of intracellular membranes, which provides locking sites for ribosomes (rough ER) and pathways for protein secretion. The luminal surface of the ER is continuous with the plasma membrane. The Golgi apparatus is a specialized region of the ER devoted to adding sugar chains to lipids and proteins. These post-translational modifications facilitate intracellular protein sorting and extracellular protein transport.
