Matching:
Lysosome
Cytoskeleton
Chloroplast
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Vacuole
1) Composed of 3 types of protein filaments that help cells to maintain their shape as well as helping to transport
materials (like macromolecules and organelles) inside the cell
2) Series of membranes outside of the nucleus that is involved with making lipids or helping to send proteins off
to the Golgi apparatus.
3) Organelle that contains digestive enzymes that break down bacteria, nutrients, or worn out organelles
4) Organelle involved in storing water, wastes and nutrients. In plants, it aids in structural support when it is
filled with water
5) Produces glucose for plant cells using carbon dioxide and water.
Short Answer
Use the diagram of the cell and its surrounding environment below to answer the questions – BE SURE TO LOOK AT
THE KEY ABOVE THE DIAGRAM!
KEY
= sugar
= water
1) What type of membrane transport would the cell use to get more sugar into the cell? Explain your answer.
2) In what direction will water naturally move (into or out of the cell) based on the number of water molecules
inside the cell vs. outside? Explain your answer.
3) What is the name of this process you described in question #2 above?
Membrane Structure (4-5)
4. To the left is a picture of the cell membrane
showing only phospholipids. Water is found both
inside and outside the cell. Which part of the
phospholipid molecules (head or tails) would be
nonpolar (hydrophobic)? Explain your reasoning.
Look at the picture of the membrane protein channel below and answer 5
5) Shown at the left is a protein channel in the phospholipid
bilayer of the membrane.
a)
What is the purpose of these proteins?
b) What kinds of substances (polar/charged OR nonpolar)
would have to use these membrane proteins and
WHY?
c)
BONUS (1 point): What kind of amino acids
(polar/charged OR nonpolar) would line the interior of
the channel? WHY do you think this?
6) A patient in the hospital is going in for an operation. In order to maintain hydration, the
patient will receive an IV containing a solution that is 0.9% sodium chloride (the same
as the concentration of the fluids in the bloodstream and the cytoplasm of blood cells).
However, the nurse in charge of the patient used a solution that contained less sodium
chloride (only about 0.5%). If the patient receives too much of this IV fluid, what
could happen to the patient’s red blood cells? Explain your answer using your
knowledge of osmosis. Also use at least TWO of the following words in your
answer (hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic) (HINT: Assume that the remaining
percentage of the 0.9% and the 0.5% IV solution is made of only water)
