In an adipose cell, after being synthesized by the ribosomes and the rough endoplasmic reticulum a protein involved in hydrolysis of lipid could be transported to the:
a) mitochondrion, b) smooth endoplasmic reticulum, c) Golgi apparatus, d) Chloroplasts, e) nucleus
Glucose is stored as glycogen (a polymer) in some eukaryote cells (such as liver cells or muscle cells). This cellular storage is performed A) by an enzyme that causes dehydration synthesis in a specialized organelle, B) by a carbohydrate in a liposome, C) by a dehydration enzyme and stored as fat in an adipose cell, D) exocytosis of the glycogen, E) as glucose stored in the nucleus by special genes in the DNA.
Steroids such as Estrogen or Testosterone are lipids which are found in the cytoplasm of living cells. They can pass across (dissolve in) the proto cell and prokaryote phospholipid bilayer because they: a) perform dehydration synthesis, b) dissolve in water, c) are ionic, d) they a soluble in the Fatty Acids of the bilayer, e) none are true.
