Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The endoplasmic reticulum is the cell organelle that forms the interconnected network of the tube-like structures. Its membrane continues with the outer nuclear membrane. The surface of the endoplasmic reticulum remains smooth and is called as smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). If the ribosomes are present on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum, that will make the surface rough. That is called as rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

Identify the following properties as belonging to mitochondria, peroxisomes, or ribosomes. a. Detoxify chemicals such as alcohol b. Can be bound to a membrane or suspended in the cytosol c. Metabolize fatty acids d. Make most of the ATP for the cell e. Synthesize proteins f. Produce certain phospholipids
A shortage of available ATP would hinder a cell's ability to import
Select one:
a. water.
b. oxygen.
c. protein.
d. carbon dioxide.
Which of the following DOES NOT describe Cellular Respiration? *
a. It provides cells with the energy they need to function.
b. Cellular respiration is essential to both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells because
this biochemical energy is produced to fuel many metabolic processes, such as
biosynthesis, locomotion, and transportation of molecules across membranes
c. Without the process of cellular respiration, there is no gaseous exchange and the
cells, tissue and other organs die due to the lack of oxygen and by the accumulation
of carbon dioxide within the cells and tissues.
d. Cellular respiration is a type of passive cell transport. Molecules move from areas
O of high concentration to areas of low concentration in order to decrease the
concentration gradient
