    Eukaryotic cells don't have membrane bound organelles.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Eukaryotic cells do have membrane-bound organelles. These organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum, are surrounded by a membrane that separates their internal environment from the rest of the cell. This membrane allows for compartmentalization and specialized functions within the cell. Therefore, the statement that eukaryotic cells don't have membrane-bound organelles is false.

    Which of these organelles is not found in a prokaryotic cell?

    • Ribosomes

    • Cytoplasm

    • DNA

    • Membrane bound nucleus

    Correct Answer
    A. Membrane bound nucleus
    Explanation
    Prokaryotic cells are characterized by the absence of a membrane-bound nucleus. Instead, their DNA is found in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid. Ribosomes are present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and are responsible for protein synthesis. Cytoplasm is the gel-like substance that fills the cell and is present in both types of cells. Therefore, the organelle that is not found in a prokaryotic cell is the membrane-bound nucleus.

    Tay-saches patients have lysosomes that lack the enzymes that can digest proteins., so they accumulate in brain cells, causing brain damage.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency of an enzyme called hexosaminidase A (Hex-A), which leads to the accumulation of a fatty substance called GM2 ganglioside in the brain and nerve cells. This accumulation causes progressive damage to the cells, leading to severe neurological problems. It is not caused by a lack of enzymes that can digest proteins, but rather by the deficiency of Hex-A enzyme. Therefore, the statement that Tay-Sachs patients have lysosomes that lack the enzymes that can digest proteins is false.
