1. List two organs contained in the abdominal cavity. - CorreCt Answers -
The abdominal cavity contains the stomach, intestines, spleen and liver
1. List two organs contained in the pelvic cavity. - CorreCt Answers -The
pelvic cavity contains the bladder, reproductive organs and the rectum
a. The purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ADP. (T or F) - CorreCt
Answers -False- (ATP is produced, not ADP)
b. Peripheral proteins are found on the outer surface of a cell membrane. (T
or F) - CorreCt Answers -True
c. Exocytosis is the process that occurs to bring biomacromolecules inside
the cell. (T or F) - CorreCt Answers -False- (process is 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 Answers -True
e. Endocytosis is a passive process. It does not require cellular energy
expenditure. (T or F) - CorreCt Answers -False- (Endocytosis is an active
process and requires cellular energy)
, a. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. (T or F) - CorreCt
Answers -True
b. The purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ATP. (T or F) - CorreCt
Answers -True
c. Integral proteins are only found on the inner surface of a cell membrane.
(T or F) - CorreCt Answers -False- (Peripheral proteins are found on the
inner or outer surface of the cell membrane. Integral proteins span the
entire length of the membrane.)
d. Endocytosis is the process that occurs to eject biomacromolecules from
the cell. (T or F) - CorreCt Answers -False - Exocytosis
e. Pinocytosis uses a signaling molecule from another cell, binding to the
cell membrane to bring about changes within the cell proteins. (T or F) -
CorreCt Answers -False- (This process is called receptor-mediated
endocytosis or information transfer)
3. 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 Answers -Tay-Sachs disease impacts the lysosome of the
cell because a digestive enzyme in lacking. This leads to a toxic buildup of
toxic lipids in the brain that cannot be broken down. This can lead to
disability and death.
4. 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
