Imagine that you develop a procedure to measure the pH of in the matrix and the intermembrane space of a mitochondrion. What pattern of pH would you see?
The pH in the intermembrane space will contain more H+ and have a lower pH compared to the matrix.
The pH in the intermembrane space will contain more H+ and have a higher pH compared to the matrix.
The pH within the matrix will contain more H+ and have a lower pH compared to the intermembrane space.
The pH within the matrix will contain more H+ and have a higher pH compared to the intermembrane space.
Imagine that you are shown a tissue sample under the microscope. One cell type in the tissue lacks a nucleus and is red in color. A second type is white, has a nucleus, and contains numerous vesicles. Are both cell types of the same origin? Which cell is metabolically active?
Each of the following conditions involves a disorder in the function of an organelle or other cell
structure. In each case, identify the organelle or structure involved and indicate whether it is likely
to be underactive or active. Give brief a brief explanation each.

undercooked cassava which contains cyan glycosides.
b. A young man learns that he is infertile because his sperm are non-motile.
A maize plant is unable to survive due to recessive lethal gene causing albinism.
d. An infant is placed on a low phenylalanine diet as his newborn screening results revealed that
he inherited phenylketonuria.

- Some scientists claim that prokaryotes like bacteria have membrane bound organelles, like chromatophores, anammoxosomes and magnetosomes. What really is the truth because it is widely known that prokaryotes do not have membrane bound organelles. Are these claims true or merely speculative? If this is true, what is the physiological basis for this?arrow_forwardThe enzyme acid hydrolase is manufactured by white blood cells. It functions in the lysosome and kills bacteria and viruses that have infected white blood cells. Where is the primary structure of acid hydrolase completed?

- 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 phospholipidsarrow_forwardThe mitochondria are often referred to as "the powerhouse of the cell," which is true, but an incomplete picture of the various whole organism biology that the mitochondrion has contributed to. For this question, choose another aspect of biology in which the mitochondria is known to have contributed to, other than just energy generation, and in a few well-structured sentences describe the biological importance of this teeny, amazing organelle to the biological aspect you have chosen.arrow_forwardWhich is NOT a characteristic of mitochondria? They: A) have two membranes. B) are the site of cellular aerobic respiration. C) have a true nucleus. D) contain their own DNA and ribosomes. E) the material inside their inner membrane (the cellular matrix) is their own cytoplasm.arrow_forward
- Insulin is a protein that is produced by pancreatic cells and secreted into the bloodstream. Which of the following options correctly lists the order of the structures in the endomembrane system through which insulin passes from its production to its exit from the cell? rough ER, transport vesicles, Golgi apparatus, vacuole, cell membrane rough ER, Golgi apparatus, smooth ER, cell membrane rough ER, transport vesicles, cell membrane rough ER, lysosomes, transport vesicles, cell membranearrow_forwardIn the image below of a region of the mitochondria, which region would have the highest concentration of hydrogen ions?

Study the list of symptoms given and provide a cellular explanation for the following symptoms experienced by patients. A 42 year old male that has had no major health issue to date complains of weight gain and tiredness. Laboratory results are negative for hepatitis and shows excessive glycogen granules in the liver. In addition there are high levels of fat in the liver (abnormal metabolism) and the male has low testosterone levels. Additional laboratory results show an abnormal calcium balance in the cells. Which organelle(s) may be responsible for these symptoms? Explain your reasoningarrow_forward
- Shock (failure of the circulatory system) is an abnormal condition in which blood flow is inadequate. The most common causes of shock are massive blood loss and obstruction of blood flow. As a result of shock, there is a failure to provide cells with oxygen and nutrients. In this circumstance, cells swell and lysosomal membranes rupture, among other effects. Describe how energy is generated during shock and why cell structure becomes destabilized.arrow_forwardwhat are seven cellular parts that both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have in common? These are parts common to ALL cells. Do not list cellular parts that are just found in one type of cell (example: nucleus. This is only found in eukaryotic cells). Then state the function of the cellular part (what does it do for the cell?)arrow_forwardMatch each eukaryotic organelle with its corresponding function. [Each choice will be used exactly once.] D Catalyzes the dehydration reaction that links amino acids. Contains powerful digestive enzymes. Responsible for protein folding and modification.
