14. What is the endoplasmic reticulum and how is it associated
with ribosomes? What chemical processes of the cell take place at
the endoplasmic reticulum?
15. In what sense is the ribosome-free side of the endoplasmic
reticulurn "outside" the cell? In what sense is a mitochon drion
"outside" the cell even though it is physically surrounded by it?
16. What is a Golgi complex? What is its biochemical function?
17. How many membranes does a mitochondrion have? How many
mitochondria are found in a typical eucaryotic cell?
18. What energy-related biochemical reactions take place
within a mitochondrion?
19. Some of the enzymes for the reactions of Question 18
float freely in the mitochondrial matrix, whereas others are embedded
in the inner membrane surface. Which enzymes are found where?
20. In what ways do mitochondria resemble bacteria? How could
such a resemblance have come about?
