Match each cell part/organelle to its function within the cell.

• chloroplast

• an organelle in plant cells that captures energy from sunlight and changes it to an energy from that cells can use in making food

• cell membrane

• a rigid supporting layer that surrounds the cells of plants, offering structural support and protection

• cell wall

• a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds the cell and controls which substances pass into and out of the cell

If the mitochondria in a cell were damaged and not working properly, which of the following effects would most likely happen in the cell? Select 3

• The cell would not have enough energy to power other organelles.

• The mitochondria would begin making DNA for the entire cell.

• The ribosomes would struggle to make proteins because they need energy.
