Chapter 3, Problem 26MIC

How are the nucleus , the ribosomes , endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus related? How are the mitochondria and the chloroplast similar? How are the mitochondria and the chloroplast simlar? How are the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the cell membrane related? Which organelles are not membrane bound? How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells similar? How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells different?

In addition to providing support, the cytoskeleton immobilizes enzymes and moves organelles to suitable positions in the cytoplasm. What advantage do these circumstances have over allowing the cell contents to freely diffuse in the cytoplasm?

Why is the relationship between surface area and volume of a cell important in determining cell size limits?

Describe the general functions of the following in a eukaryotic cell: the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, DNA, ribosomes, organelles, and cytoskeleton.

Figure 4.7 Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells. What advantages might small cell size confer on a cell? What advantages might large cell size have?

In what ways do the functions of the cytoskeleton differ from those of the endomembrane system?

Which of the following is a feature common to all three components of the cytoskeleton?

The cell division process that cells in culture undergo includes the following stages in temporal order: O a) Telophase, anaphase, prophase, metaphase O b) Anaphase, metaphase, prophase, telophase O c) Metaphase, prophase, telophase, anaphase O d) Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Explain the difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell.  List at least five components that are unique to the eukaryotic cell. Use all relative terms when describe structure and function of these components.
