  • What is the structural difference between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
    The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, while the smooth ER lacks ribosomes, resulting in a smooth surface.
  • What are the functions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
    The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and modification, as it has ribosomes on its surface that build proteins.
  • What are the functions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
    The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification of drugs and poisons.
  • Which of the following is not a function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum? A) Lipid synthesis B) Protein synthesis C) Detoxification D) Calcium storage
    B) Protein synthesis
  • Which organelle adds carbohydrate groups to proteins produced at the endoplasmic reticulum?
    The Golgi apparatus adds carbohydrate groups to proteins.
  • How do merocrine exocrine glands secrete their products?
    Merocrine exocrine glands secrete their products via exocytosis without losing cellular material.
  • Which of the following correctly states the functions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum? A) Lipid synthesis B) Protein synthesis C) Detoxification D) Calcium storage
    B) Protein synthesis
  • What occurs during secretion?
    Secretion involves the release of substances, such as proteins, into the cell's surroundings.
  • Which of the following types of proteins are synthesized by the rough ER? A) Membrane proteins B) Secretory proteins C) Cytosolic proteins D) All of the above
    D) All of the above
  • The flattened stacks of membrane typical of the Golgi apparatus are called which of the following? A) Vesicles B) Cisternae C) Lumen D) Ribosomes
    B) Cisternae
  • Which statement best describes the process of secretion?
    Secretion is the process by which substances are released from the cell into its surroundings.
  • Which membrane-bound organelle is the site of protein and lipid synthesis?
    The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of protein and lipid synthesis.
  • Which is not a type of vesicle made from the Golgi apparatus? A) Lysosomes B) Transport vesicles C) Secretory vesicles D) Ribosomes
    D) Ribosomes
  • What are the structural and functional differences between the rough ER and the smooth ER?

    B) Proteins
  • How does the function of the rough ER compare to the smooth ER in the cell?
    The rough ER is primarily involved in protein synthesis, while the smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
  • Which of the following correctly describe steps required for protein transport into the rough ER? A) Transcription B) Translation C) Vesicle formation D) All of the above
    D) All of the above
  • What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
    The smooth ER is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification of drugs and poisons.
  • What are some functions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
    Functions of the smooth ER include lipid synthesis and detoxification.
  • Which of the following is a function of the rough ER? A) Lipid synthesis B) Protein synthesis C) Detoxification D) Calcium storage

  • Which of the following statements about the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is false? A) The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis B) The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis C) The ER is not part of the endomembrane system D) The ER is continuous with the nuclear envelope
    C) The ER is not part of the endomembrane system
  • Newly made proteins are modified in which organelle?
    Newly made proteins are modified in the Golgi apparatus.
  • What is the main difference between rough and smooth ER?
    The main difference is that rough ER has ribosomes for protein synthesis, while smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
  • How does rough ER differ from smooth ER?
    Rough ER has ribosomes for protein synthesis, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
