9. Some researchers now believe that Alzheimer’s disease is caused by the release of
destructive enzymes into the cytoplasm of nerve cells. The enzymes are thought to be
released by organelles whose membranes ruptured as they were trying to digest
harmful proteins. Which organelles do you think are responsible for the release of these
destructive enzymes?
10. What organelle modify products from the ER and also manufacture certain
macromolecules – Sort and package materials into transport vesicles
11. This organelle is involved in the production and elimination of hydrogen peroxide
during biochemical processes and oxidation of fatty acids.

Components of this system includes the Nuclear envelope, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi
apparatus, Lysosomes, Vacuoles, Plasma membrane. These components are either
continuous or connected via transfer by vesicles.
15. True or False: Mitochondria has its own DNA
16. Eukaryotic cells have __S ribosomes with __S larger subunit and __S smaller subunit.
17. True or False: Ribosomes are not membrane bound and is short-lived organelle
18. What organelle allows the expansion and contraction of the cell which assists in the
movement of the cell?
20. XX is the last chromosome pair for:______ and XY is the last chromosome pair
for:______?
21. During cell division, this organelle have a crucial role in forming spindle fibers which
assist the movement of chromatids towards their respective sides. They are involved in
the formation of cilia and flagella.
22. BONUS POINT: SING ALOUD ANY SONG THAT YOU CAN DEDICATE TO
YOUR BIOTECH TEACHER. (5 POINTS). NOTE: KEEP SINGING UNTIL I SAY
“MOVE!”
23. The cells gain rigidity with the help of turgor pressure and it helps in maintaining
their structure. The opening and closing of stomata are the results of turgor pressure. The
high turgor pressure results in the opening of the stomata and low turgor pressure results
in closing of the stomata. What organelle helps the cell withstand the turgor pressure of
the cell?
24. Dysfunction of which organelle is linked to diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
due to the accumulation of misfolded proteins within brain cells?
25. Defects in which organelle are associated with genetic disorders such as Tay-Sachs
disease and Niemann-Pick disease, resulting in the accumulation of lipids within cells?

substances in the cell?
28. A cell is responsible for storing large amounts of starch. Which organelle plays a key
role in starch storage?
