What process describes the release of materials across the cell membrane? a Phagocytosis b Exocytosis c Active transport d Pinocytosis 16. What part of cell regulates the passage of substances into and out of the cell? a Golgi apparatus b Smooth endoplasmic reticulum c Nucleus d Cell membrane 17. How many chromosomes would be present in the gametes of a diploid organism with chromosome number of 46? a 46 b 69 c 23 d 92

Explanation / Answer

Please find the answers below:

Answer 8: Choice a (DNA replication takes place in the nucleus since the nuclear membrane has not yet dissolved)

Answer 9: Choice a (a competetive inhibitor competes with the original susbtrate to bind to the active site, thus blocking it for the entry of substrate and preventing the actual enzyme action)

Answer 10: Choice a (lipid remain the major part of the plasma membrane. The bilayer of the lipids make the membrane dynamic in nature and very mobile as well)

Answer 11: Choice b (karyotype refers to the physical make up of the chromosomes, genotype represents the genetic make up whereas phenotype represents the external appearance of the organism)
