Exam 2: Cellular Structure and the Compounds of Cells

After reading the paragraph below, answer the question that follows. Mitochondria have their own genome. Although the size of the genome varies between eukaryotic species, it is typically small and contains genes encoding the respiratory complexes involved in synthesizing ATP. Mitochondrial genomes also contain genes for making ribosomal RNA required to make proteins within mitochondria. -Mutations in a mitochondrial gene that cause loss of function of the encoded protein would typically be associated with which of the following symptoms?

Which of the following does a lipoprotein not typically contain?

Which one of the following is not one of the key chemical groups?

After reading the paragraph below, answer the question that follows. A single nucleotide substitution in the gene encoding glycogen synthase occurs. The result of this particular mutation is to alter the amino acid composition of the glycogen synthase enzyme, rendering it inactive and incapable of synthesizing glycogen. -If a child inherits two copies (alleles) of the mutated gene, which of the following statements accurately describes what would happen?

What is the name given to the organelle filled with digestive enzymes that serves as a recycling centre in animal cells?

Which microscope is used to study the details of internal cell structure?
