To check if your answers are correct for these questions, we'll go through each question and option to determine the correct answer:
17. Functions of the nucleus include:
a. directing the function of the cell
b. the partial assembly of ribosomes
c. storing most of the hereditary information of the cell
d. all of the above
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the functions of the nucleus. Option a is correct because the nucleus directs the function of the cell by controlling gene expression. Option b is also correct because the nucleus is involved in the assembly of ribosomes. Option c is correct because the nucleus stores most of the hereditary information in the form of DNA. Therefore, the correct answer is d, "all of the above". Your answer is correct.
18. Internal membranes play important roles in protein production and processing except they do NOT:
a. anchor ribosomes in place
b. transport substances to different areas
c. contain the hereditary information for the protein
d. modify proteins to go into vesicles
To find the correct answer, we need to identify the roles of internal membranes in protein production and processing and eliminate the option that does not fit. Option a is correct because internal membranes, specifically the endoplasmic reticulum, anchor ribosomes in place during protein synthesis. Option b is correct because internal membranes transport substances to different areas of the cell, particularly the Golgi apparatus. Option d is correct because internal membranes, specifically the Golgi apparatus, modify proteins to go into vesicles. Option c is incorrect because internal membranes do not contain the hereditary information for proteins, that is stored in the nucleus. Therefore, the correct answer is c, "contain the hereditary information for the protein". Your answer is correct.
19. Which of the following is NOT true about mitochondria?
a. It is where most of the organism's ATP is used
b. they have their own DNA
c. Muscle cells have many mitochondria
d. The inner membrane has a large surface area
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the characteristics of mitochondria and eliminate the option that is false. Option a is correct because mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and where most of the organism's ATP is produced, not used. Option b is correct because mitochondria have their own DNA. Option c is correct because muscle cells have high energy demands and therefore contain many mitochondria. Option d is correct because the inner membrane of mitochondria has folds called cristae, which increase its surface area. Therefore, the correct answer is a, "It is where most of the organism's ATP is used". Your answer is correct.
20. Identify the correct flow of energy through a living system.
a. sunlight, volcanic vent, prokaryote
b. sunlight, grass, caribou
c. plankton, sunlight, whale
d. grass, mouse, rabbit
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the flow of energy through a living system. Option a is incorrect because volcanic vents do not directly contribute to the flow of energy in most living systems. Option b is correct because sunlight is captured by plants (grass), which is then consumed by herbivores (caribou). Option c is correct because plankton captures sunlight through photosynthesis, which is then consumed by the whale. Option d is incorrect because grass does not directly provide energy to a rabbit, instead, it is consumed by herbivores like mouse, which is then consumed by a carnivore like a rabbit. Therefore, the correct answer is b, "sunlight, grass, caribou". Your answer is correct.
Based on the analysis, it appears that all of your answers are correct. Well done!
