Question

1. in what organelle does cellular respiration take place?
2. name two storage organelles?
3. what is the list of organelles that take part in protein synthesis?
4. how is the nucleus involved in protein synthesis?
5. what organelle is considered a “factory”, because it takes in raw materials and converts them to cell products that can be used by the cell?
6. how does the membrane of the cell differ from the nuclear membrane? what advantages does this difference have for the nucleus?

Explanation:

1. Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria, which generate energy for the cell.
2. Two storage organelles are vacuoles (store water, nutrients etc.) and plastids (e.g., chloroplasts store starch).
3. Organelles involved in protein synthesis are ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Ribosomes make proteins, ER modifies them and Golgi packages them.
4. The nucleus contains DNA which has the genetic code for proteins. It transcribes mRNA which is then used for protein - synthesis in the cytoplasm.
5. The endoplasmic reticulum can be considered a "factory" as it takes in raw materials like amino - acids and synthesizes various cell products like proteins and lipids.
6. The cell membrane is a single - layer membrane that controls the movement of substances in and out of the entire cell. The nuclear membrane is a double - layer membrane that protects the nucleus and its contents. The double - layer of the nuclear membrane provides extra protection for the genetic material in the nucleus.

Answer:

1. Mitochondria
2. Vacuoles, Plastids
3. Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus
4. It contains DNA and transcribes mRNA for protein - synthesis.
5. Endoplasmic Reticulum
6. Cell membrane is single - layer, nuclear membrane is double - layer. Double - layer of nuclear membrane protects genetic material.
