Question

Match each of the cellular functions to the organelle that is primarily responsible for carrying out that function. Storage and segregation of genetic information; gene transcription (DNA->RNA); ribosome assembly Convert energy from the break-down of sugars to make ATP using O2 Convert CO2 to sugar using energy from sunlight Synthesis of proteins destined either for secretion or for any endomembrane system compartment Storage of Ca++ ions (This is the 4th function listed for this organelle in the textbook, but it is the one I want you to know. For more information, see Lecture 10 slides) Segregation of reactions that produce toxic compounds and subsequent degradation of the toxic compounds Processing and packaging of proteins destined either for secretion or for any endomembrane system compartment Transport of proteins and other cellular material between compartments Internalization of material from extracellular space and/or cell surface Hydrolysis of macromolecules that have undergone endocytosis

Answer 1

Answer: answers are attached to the explanation

Explanation:

Nucleus: Storage and segregation of genetic information

Ribosome: gene transcription (DNA->RNA)

Nucleolus: ribosome assembly

Mitochondria: Convert energy from the break-down of sugars to make ATP using O2

Chloroplast: Convert CO2 to sugar using energy from sunlight

Ribosome: Synthesis of proteins destined either for secretion or for any endomembrane system compartment Sarcoplasmic reticulum: Storage of Ca++ ions

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: Segregation of reactions that produce toxic compounds and subsequent degradation of the toxic compounds

Golgi apparatus: Processing and packaging of proteins destined either for secretion or for any endomembrane system compartment

Ribosome: Transport of proteins and other cellular material between compartments

Endosomes, lysosomes, peroxisomes, Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum: Internalization of material from extracellular space and/or cell surface

Lysosome: Hydrolysis of macromolecules that have undergone endocytosis
