Cells Perform Many Complex Processes; in What Way Does the Membranous

question 38

Multiple Choice

Cells perform many complex processes; in what way does the membranous compartmentalization seen in eukaryotes aid in these processes?

• A) Specific compartmental membranes can have unique sets of transport proteins that allow the compartment to accumulate and concentrate the necessary chemical reactants.
• B) Protecting sperm and ova within membranous compartments prior to their release improves the success of sexually reproducing species.
• C) Toxic by-products such as oxygen and carbon dioxide can be permanently stored within compartments dedicated to waste containment.
• D) If cells are accidentally damaged, the random distribution of compartmentalized components ensures that any fragment will be able to survive and assume an independent life.
