Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.24 Organelles and Cell Compartmentalization skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A pancreatic beta cell secretes insulin, a protein hormone. Which integrated model best shows how compartmentalization coordinates this process?

AChloroplasts capture light, cell walls fold insulin, and lysosomes release it as DNA.

BMitochondria store the insulin gene, ribosomes digest insulin, and the nucleus secretes it directly.

CThe central vacuole translates insulin mRNA, while peroxisomes package it into cellulose.

DNucleus makes mRNA, rough ER translates and folds the protein, Golgi processes it, and secretory vesicles release it by exocytosis.

Solution & Explanation:Protein secretion requires coordinated compartments: genetic instructions in the nucleus, synthesis into rough ER, processing in Golgi, and vesicle-mediated exocytosis.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A microtubule-depolymerizing drug leaves ER protein synthesis normal but lowers secretion from the cell surface. Which interpretation best fits the data?

AThe drug blocks ribosomes from forming peptide bonds in the ER.

BThe drug changes chloroplasts into lysosomes that digest DNA.

CProtein production begins normally, but vesicle trafficking from internal compartments to the surface is impaired.

DThe drug removes all membranes, so no proteins can enter the ER.

Solution & Explanation:If synthesis is normal but secretion falls, a later transport step is likely affected. Microtubules help move vesicles through the cytoplasm.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which explanation best describes why internal membranes were important in the evolution of complex eukaryotic cells?

AInternal membranes removed the need for DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes.

BInternal membranes allowed specialized reaction spaces, regulated transport, and larger organized cells.

CInternal membranes made all cells photosynthetic, including animal cells.

DInternal membranes prevented any exchange of materials between compartments.

Solution & Explanation:Internal membranes support specialization, organization, and controlled exchange among compartments, helping eukaryotic cells coordinate complex functions.
