Answer:

1. protein synthesis - (b) rough ER

2. protein modification and sorting - (c) Golgi apparatus

3. macromolecule digestion - (d) lysosomes

4. lipid synthesis - (a) smooth ER

5. autophagy - (d) lysosomes

6. cisternal maturation - (c) Golgi apparatus

7. calcium ion storage - (a) smooth ER

8. poison detoxification - (a) smooth ER

Explanation:

Rough ER or rough endoplasmic reticulum with the help of ribosomes is responsible for protein synthesis and their subsequent transport to various other parts of the cell that is why both these organelles are also known as protein factory.

Soon after proteins are synthesized with the help of rough ER, they are transported to another network of organelle known as golgi apparatus. In golgi apparatus, the nascent protein is further modified and sorted. Modification and sorting of proteins help in identifying their final destination i.e. whether the protein is meant for mitochondria or plasma membrane or some other organelle. Maturation of cisternae also takes place in golgi apparatus.

Smooth ER or smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for lipid synthesis, storage of calcium ions and poison detoxification. Most of the steroid hormones, triglycerols etc. are synthesized in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Smooth ER also stores calcium ions so that whenever they are required they can be sequestered back into the cytosol. Poison detoxification occurs in the smooth ER of liver because the enzymes present in the liver are capable of converting such hydrophobic substances into hydrophilic substances so that they could be easily secreted out of the body.

Lysosome is the organelle which is responsible for macromolecule digestion and autophagy. Lysosomes have very low pH and a lot of hydrolyzing enzymes which can easily digest macromolecules. Autophagy is a self degradable process in which damaged cells are eaten or destroyed by lysosomes so that their macromolecules could be broken down into their monomers so that they can be reused by our body.

E.Coli would be a good model organism to study how the cell membrane controls movement of substances in and out of cells?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:A.) True

Explanation:

E.Coli would be a good model organism to study how the cell membrane controls movement of substances in and out of cells because  it a eubacteria .Eubacteria characteristics include the ability to allow the movement of molecules across its membrane once a proton gradient is established , The membrane also has permeability enhancing properties that allow for the easy movement of substances.

Large changes in temperature and acidity interfere with enzyme activity by _
ankoles [38]

Answer: Denaturing

Explanation: Enzymes are made of amino acids that are linked by bonds, amongst those bonds are hydrogen bonds that are very weak. High temperatures and low pH(acidity) breaks those bonds changing the molecular conformation of the enzymes. That way they denature and loss the ability to perform their functions. High temperatures and acidity alter the structure of their active site preventing the substrate from binding to them. While high temperatures denatures enzymes, low temperature renders them inactive.

A phage is a virus that infects bacterial cells. A phage virus is shown above. What component of the phage virus is indicated by
Setler [38]

Answer:

<u>D) the nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA)</u>

<u />

Explanation:

Phages, or bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.They have varying shapes, and sizes, and may contain one of two kinds of nucleic acid; these are RNA and DNA.

The nucleic acids  are made up of nucleotides. These are  genetic storage biomolecules made up of the monomers ribonucleic acid (RNA) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Scientists classify the parts of a phospholipid molecule according to their chemical properties. what are these parts?
xeze [42]
Phospholipids are typically made up of two fatty acids,a glycerol molecule and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol.The phosphate group is negatively charged, it is hydrophilic and it is describes as the polar HEAD of the phospholipid. The fatty acid chains have no charge [neutral], they are hydophobic and they are describe as the non-polar TAIL of the phospholipid.
