For each of the following, answer only “T” for true and “F” for false. If the answer is false, use a highlighter to point out the part of the statement that is incorrect.

_____ 50. The cytoplasm consists mainly of water.

_____ 51. Ribosomes can be found attached to the membrane of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).

_____ 52. Cellular respiration, the process of converting sugar to energy, takes place in the Golgi body.

_____ 53. The chromosomes in the nucleus consist mainly of RNA.

_____ 54. Proteins made in the RER move to the centrioles for processing.

_____ 55. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes.

_____ 56. Ribosomes join amino acids together to make lipids.

_____ 57. The mitochondria are folded inside so there is more membrane space to perform the reactions to produce ATP.
