Question

Name the membrane-enclosed compartments in a eucaryotic cell where each of the

functions listed below takes place.
A. photosynthesis
B. transcription
C. oxidative phosphorylation
D. modification of secreted proteins
E. steroid hormone synthesis F. degradation of worn-out organelles
G. new membrane synthesis
H. breakdown of lipids and toxic molecules

Answer 1

In eukaryotic cells, photosynthesis, transcription, oxidative phosphorylation, modification of secreted proteins, steroid hormone synthesis, degradation of worn-out organelles, new membrane synthesis, and the breakdown of lipids and toxic molecules take place in chloroplasts, the nucleus, mitochondria, the Golgi apparatus, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, both types of endoplasmic reticulum, and peroxisomes, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eukaryotic cells contain various membrane-enclosed compartments which perform specific functions:

• A. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant and algae cells.
• B. Transcription takes place in the nucleus, where the DNA is located.
• C. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondria, producing ATP.
• D. The modification of secreted proteins happens in the Golgi apparatus.
• E. Steroid hormone synthesis is performed in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).
• F. The degradation of worn-out organelles is the function of lysosomes.
• G. New membrane synthesis also takes place within the endoplasmic reticulum, both smooth and rough ER.
• H. The breakdown of lipids and toxic molecules occurs in peroxisomes.
