1. The correct answer is C. ATT. The sequence of bases on the opposite strand assembled by the tRNA is complementary to the mRNA codon. In this case, A pairs with U, G pairs with C, and U pairs with A. Therefore, the sequence on the opposite strand would be UAA.
2. The correct answer is C. Ribosome →→ Vesicle →→ Rough ER →→ Vesicle →→ Golgi Apparatus →→ Cell Membrane. Proteins that are being exported from the cell follow a pathway known as the secretory pathway. The ribosome translates the mRNA into a protein, which is then transported via vesicles from the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus modifies and tags the protein before packaging it into vesicles for export to the cell membrane.
3. The correct answer is B. Protein making and protein packaging. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for protein synthesis, where ribosomes attach to the ER and synthesize proteins. The Golgi apparatus is involved in protein packaging, where it modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport to their final destinations.
4. The correct answer is A. Cytoplasm. Ribosomes perform protein synthesis in the cytoplasm of the cell. They can be free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
5. The correct answer is B. It would not be able to make lipids. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for lipid synthesis, storing calcium ions, detoxifying harmful substances, and participating in carbohydrate metabolism. Without the smooth ER, the cell would not be able to produce lipids, which are important components of cell membranes and play various roles in cellular processes.
