produced, not ADP)
b. Peripheral proteins are found on the outer surface of a cell membrane. (T or F) - CORRECT ANSWER-b.
True
c. Exocytosis is the process that occurs to bring biomacromolecules inside the cell. (T or F) - CORRECT
ANSWER-c. False- (This process is called endocytosis)
d. Receptor mediated endocytosis uses a signaling molecule from another cell, binding to the cell
membrane to bring about changes within the cell proteins. (T or F) - CORRECT ANSWER-d. True
e. Endocytosis is a passive process. It does not require cellular energy expenditure.(T or F) - CORRECT
ANSWER-e. False- (Endocytosis is an active process and requires cellular energy)
In your own words, discuss Tay Sachs disease. What organelle within the cell is impacted? What are the
symptoms of the disease and why do they occur? - CORRECT ANSWER-(1)Lysosomes (2) buildup of toxic
lipids inside the cell (biomacromolecules) (3) disability and death, In the genetic disease known as Tay
Sachs, one of the normally present digestive enzymes inside lysosomes is lacking. Thus, a toxic lipid in
the brain cells cannot be broken down. The resulting buildup of lipids in these cells can cause intellectual
disability and death.
You are observing two cells under the microscope. They are the same type of eukaryotic cell but one
appears much larger. Based on appearance alone, which one would you expect to be carrying out
respiration at a more active rate, the larger or smaller cell? Explain why. - CORRECT ANSWER-The smaller
