Evaluate the paragraph and drag the labels to complete each of the sentences that discuss the advantages of compartmentalization in a eukaryotic cell.
1. In general, the surface-area-to-volume ratio of eukaryotic cells is considerably smaller Correctthan that of bacteria or archaea. To overcome that handicap, eukaryotes evolved to house an extensive system of internal membranes Correctthat divide the cell into organelles Correct.
2. In a complex organism, many metabolic activities must occur simultaneously yet independently Correctwith appropriate, individual regulation. The presence of organelles places cellular functions into separate, distinct compartments.
3. Membranes are the site of respiratory and photosynthetic Correctactivity. Having a greater membrane surface area maximizes those processes effectively increasing the amount of ATP production Correctcompared to a cell with fewer internal membranes.
4. The endoplasmic reticulum Correctmembranes are the origin of cellular vesicles that move molecules throughout and out of the cell. Having an extensive internal membrane system improves molecular transport Correct.
