2) Organelles that carry out different functions
3) Organs that help to carry out a specific life activity
4) Systems that are responsible for a specific life activity
Question 7.
Organelles carry out specific processes involving chemical reactions. In
the chart below identify two organelles and, for each, identify a
process involving chemical reactions that occurs there. Describe
one specific way each process identified is important to the
functioning of the organism.

Question 8.
Muscle cells in athletes often have more mitochondria than
muscle cells in nonathletes. Based on this
observation, it can be inferred that the muscle cells in
athletes

cells of nonathletes
C) Have nuclei containing more DNA than nuclei in the
muscle cells of nonathletes
D) Reproduce less frequently than the muscle cells of
nonathletes
