Feedback
1 This is incorrect. When oxygen is not available, anaerobic metabolism produces
significantly less cellular energy: a net yield of 2 ATP, as well as pyruvic acid.

Feedback
1 This is incorrect. Protein synthesis is the function of ribosomes. An increase
in the synthesis of proteins does not yield energy and is not directly related
to exercise.
2 This is incorrect. In aerobic energy metabolism created by exercise,
anaerobic metabolism, also referred to as glycolysis, occurs outside the
mitochondria. In anaerobic metabolism, glucose is used to create energy.
3 This is incorrect. Conversion of pyruvic acid to lactic acid in cellular hypoxia
is noxious to cells and does not create energy.

to create energy. This process is supported by the increased number of
mitochondria found in muscle cells.

Golgi apparatus to be converted into complete hormones, and tubulin is
associated with microtubule formation.
3 This is incorrect. Tubulin and actin are not the key proteins in the
contractile units of the muscle cells. Microtubules are hollow filaments
composed of tubulin. So tubulin is associated with microtubule formation.
4 This is incorrect. Prohormones are not one of the key proteins in the
contractile units of the muscle cells. They are transferred to the Golgi

Feedback
1 This is incorrect. A deficiency of proteasome in the cell does not cause Tay–
Sachs disease. Proteasome is an organelle that contains digestive enzymes
similar to lysosomes. Proteasomes degrade polypeptide chains and
proteins.
2 This is incorrect. A deficiency of peroxisomes in the cell does not cause Tay–
Sachs disease. Peroxisomes contain digestive enzymes such as lysosomes.
Peroxisomes break down the long-chain fatty acids and free radicals.
3 This is incorrect. A deficiency of macrophages in the body does not cause
Tay– Sachs disease. Macrophages are the major defensive white blood cells
of the body. They contain a large number of lysosomes.
4 This is correct. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes such as lysozyme,
proteases, and lipases to degrade the ingested foreign substances and
cellular debris. Tay–Sachs disease is a rare genetic disorder that is caused
by the deficiency of lysosomal enzymes. It results because of the buildup of
lipids in the brain and spinal cord.

1 This is incorrect. Ribosomal protein synthesis does not cease during
endoplasmic reticulum stress.
2 This is incorrect. ATP is synthesized in the energy metabolism. It does not
interfere with protein synthesis.
3 This is correct. When the cells are deprived of adequate oxygen supply, the
ribosomal protein synthesis ceases.

4 This is incorrect. The processing of prohormones to hormones does not
cease the process of protein synthesis.

1 This is correct. The cilia are responsible for propelling the mucus and
inhaled debris out of the lungs using a sweeping motion.
2 This is incorrect. Microfilaments help in changing the shape of certain cells,
such as macrophages, and help with contraction of muscle.
3 This is incorrect. Secretory vesicles store substances, such as hormones,
that are secreted by cells before they are released into the extracellular
space.
4 This is incorrect. The endoplasmic reticulum aids in the transport of the
synthesized protein from the ribosomes to the Golgi apparatus.

1 This is correct. Actin and myosin are the key proteins in the contractile unit
of the muscle cells.
2 This is incorrect. Prohormone and tubulin are not the key elements in the
contractile units of the muscle cells. Prohormones are transferred to the

Golgi apparatus to be converted into complete hormones, and tubulin is
associated with microtubule formation.
3 This is incorrect. Tubulin and actin are not the key proteins in the
contractile units of the muscle cells. Microtubules are hollow filaments
composed of tubulin. So tubulin is associated with microtubule formation.
4 This is incorrect. Prohormones are not one of the key proteins in the
contractile units of the muscle cells. They are transferred to the Golgi
apparatus to be converted into complete hormones.

1 This is incorrect. A deficiency of proteasome in the cell does not cause Tay–
Sachs disease. Proteasome is an organelle that contains digestive enzymes
similar to lysosomes. Proteasomes degrade polypeptide chains and
proteins.
2 This is incorrect. A deficiency of peroxisomes in the cell does not cause Tay–
Sachs disease. Peroxisomes contain digestive enzymes such as lysosomes.
Peroxisomes break down the long-chain fatty acids and free radicals.
3 This is incorrect. A deficiency of macrophages in the body does not cause
Tay– Sachs disease. Macrophages are the major defensive white blood cells
of the body. They contain a large number of lysosomes.
4 This is correct. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes such as lysozyme,
proteases, and lipases to degrade the ingested foreign substances and
cellular debris. Tay–Sachs disease is a rare genetic disorder that is caused
by the deficiency of lysosomal enzymes. It results because of the buildup of
lipids in the brain and spinal cord.
