Q1Domain Verified
According to the IB Biology Cell Theory & Ultrastructure Course 2026, which of the following experimental observations would *most* directly challenge the principle that all cells arise from pre-existing cells?
The finding that certain organelles within eukaryotic cells can divide independently of nuclear division.
The observation of archaea exhibiting unique metabolic pathways not found in bacteria or eukaryotes.
The discovery of viruses capable of self-replication within a host cell.
The identification of spontaneous generation of simple organic molecules in a primitive Earth simulation.
Q2Domain Verified
A student is examining a sample under a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM) and observes a complex, membrane-bound organelle containing ribosomes and a circular DNA molecule. Based on the IB Biology Cell Theory & Ultrastructure Course 2026, which organelle is *most* likely being observed, and what is the primary theoretical implication of its presence?
Mitochondrion; it supports the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of eukaryotic cells.
Peroxisome; it illustrates the role of specialized metabolic compartments.
Lysosome; it highlights the cell's ability to degrade waste materials.
Golgi apparatus; it demonstrates the endomembrane system's role in protein modification.
Q3Domain Verified
During a practical session on cell fractionation, a researcher aims to isolate intact, functional lysosomes. They observe that prolonged exposure to a specific pH condition in the lysis buffer leads to a significant reduction in the enzyme activity within the isolated fraction. According to the IB Biology Cell Theory & Ultrastructure Course 2026, what is the *most* probable reason for this observation, and what cellular mechanism is being affected?
The change in pH inhibits the proton pumps responsible for maintaining the lysosome's acidic interior.
The pH denatures the lysosomal enzymes, disrupting their catalytic activity.
The pH shift triggers autophagy, leading to the degradation of the lysosomes themselves.
The altered pH causes the lysosomal membrane to become permeable, allowing enzyme leakage.
