Question

Match the cell organelle to the organ or organ system in your body that does the same job.

Answer 1

Nervous System - Nucleus - control (responding to certain neurotransmitters by allowing transcription factors to be formed) Respiratory System - Plasma Membrane (alveoli allow certain particles into the cells but want to keep contaminants out) Reproductive System - Nucleus - DNA (determines in part the genome and developmental process of the offspring) Digestive System - Mitochondria (want full redox reaction to occur in the organelle based on nutrients extracted from food) Integumentary System - Cytoskeleton (for support as well as in the construction of the basal lamina) Musculoskeletal System - Endomembrane System (think about the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the effect of increased surface area when calcium is released) Circulatory System - Passive Transport (through capillaries especially)
