3 of 183 of 18 Items 03:13 Question Proteins are important biomolecules. Proteins are synthesized and often packaged for secretion into other cells within an organism. A variety of organelles play a role in producing, packaging, and moving proteins. Can you match the organelle with its function? Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse. Nucleus Ribosome Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Vesicle
Nucleus - Contains the DNA and controls the synthesis of proteins.
Ribosome - Synthesizes proteins.
Endoplasmic reticulum - Packages proteins and prepares them for secretion.
Golgi apparatus - Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport.
Vesicle - Transports proteins to other parts of the cell or to the cell membrane for secretion.
To match the organelle with its function, you can refer to the following:
1. Nucleus: The nucleus is responsible for storing and protecting the organism's genetic material, DNA. It also controls the cell's activities and coordinates protein synthesis.
2. Ribosome: Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis. They assemble amino acids into protein chains based on the instructions provided by the DNA.
3. Endoplasmic reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for protein synthesis, folding, and transport. It also plays a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs and toxins.
4. Golgi apparatus: The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins before they are transported to their final destinations. It acts as a distribution center for cellular products.
5. Vesicle: Vesicles are small membrane-bound sacs that transport proteins, lipids, and other molecules within the cell. They can also transport molecules to the cell membrane for secretion.
So, the correct match between the organelles and their functions are:
- Nucleus: Controls cell activities and coordinates protein synthesis.
- Ribosome: Involved in protein synthesis.
- Endoplasmic reticulum: Responsible for protein synthesis, folding, and transport.
- Golgi apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins.
- Vesicle: Transports molecules within the cell.
Please note that these are general functions, and each organelle may have more specific functions depending on the cell type.
To match the organelle with its function, we need to understand the roles of each organelle involved in protein production, packaging, and movement within cells:
1. Nucleus: The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the cell's DNA. It is responsible for storing and protecting the genetic information required for protein synthesis.
2. Ribosome: Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis. They are responsible for assembling amino acids to create proteins according to the instructions provided by the DNA.
3. Endoplasmic reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membranes within the cell. Rough ER, which has ribosomes attached to its surface, is responsible for synthesizing and modifying proteins. Smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes, plays a role in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
4. Golgi apparatus: The Golgi apparatus receives proteins from the rough ER and modifies, sorts, and packages them for distribution to their respective destinations within or outside the cell.
5. Vesicle: Vesicles are small membrane sacs that transport proteins, lipids, and other molecules within the cell. They can move proteins from the rough ER to the Golgi apparatus or from the Golgi apparatus to the cell membrane for secretion.
Now, let's match the organelles with their functions:
- Nucleus: Stores and protects genetic information required for protein synthesis.
- Ribosome: Involved in protein synthesis.
- Endoplasmic reticulum: Synthesizes and modifies proteins (rough ER) and plays a role in lipid synthesis and detoxification (smooth ER).
- Golgi apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for distribution.
- Vesicle: Transports proteins and other molecules within the cell.
By understanding the functions of each organelle, you should be able to match them correctly.
