Respond to the following questions in complete sentences; be sure to support your answers:
14. In a recent murder mystery, a woman died in minutes after consuming cyanide-laced sugar. Forensic
scientists did research and found out that the death was caused by the lack of the energy rich molecule ATP.
Which cellular organelle was affected by this poison? Explain your answer.
MITOCHONDRIA - ATP IS CELLULAR ENERGY WHICH IS PRODUCED DURING CELLULAR RESPIRATION
IN THE MITOCHONDRIA
15. In a classroom experiment, you ground up some spinach in distilled water and filtered the liquid onto a
piece of filter paper. The isolated organelles absorbed carbon dioxide and released oxygen. Which cellular
organelle was most likely on the filter paper? Explain your answer.
CHLOROPLASTS - ABSORB CARBON DIOXIDE AND RELEASE OXYGEN DURING PHOTOSYNTHESIS
16. Would you expect the same results as described in question 4 above if you ground up mushroom cells
instead of spinach cells? Explain your answer.
NO – MUSHROOMS ARE FUNGI AND ARE NOT PHOTOSYNTHETIC
17. Examination of a sample of glandular cells from an unknown body location reveals an extensive
network of endoplasmic reticulum. Select all substances from the list below that may be produced by
these cells. Explain your answers.
a. Skin oils
b. Digestive enzymes
c. Sex hormones
d. cholesterol
e. ear wax
f. cellulose
THE ATTACHED RIBOSOMES OF ROUGH ER PRODUCE PROTEIN (ENZYMES) &
SMOOTH ER SYNTHESIZES LIPIDS (OILS, HORMONES, CHOLESTEROL & WAX)
18. A person who smokes destroys the cilia on the columnar epithelial cells that line the trachea. In most
cases, the cilia will regenerate. If the cilia did not regenerate or did not resume proper function, which
cellular organelle might be implicated in the problem? Explain your answer
CENTRIOLES OR CYTOSKELETON - CENTRIOLES GIVE RISE TO CYTOSKELETON AND CILIA ARE
DERIVED FROM THE CYTOSKELETON
Labeling: Identify the structures of the organelles indicated below on the lines provided

6. MITOCHONDRIA
7. ATTACHED RIBOSOMES (DOTS)
8. NUCLEOLUS
9. NUCLEAR ENVELOPE
10. CENTRIOLES (2 RODS)
