What is the main idea of the cell theory?

• All living organisms are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and all cells come from pre-existing cells.

• All living organisms are composed of atoms

• Cells are not important for living organisms

• Cells can only come from non-living matter

• chloroplast

• mitochondria

• ribosome

• nucleus

What is the function of the mitochondria in a cell?

• Stores genetic information

• Produces energy through cellular respiration

• Produces glucose through photosynthesis

• Regulates cell activities

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum in a cell?

• Energy production

• Cell division

• Protein and lipid synthesis, and material transportation

• Waste elimination

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus in a cell?

• Producing energy for the cell

• Modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids

• Storing genetic information

• Regulating cell growth and division

What are the three main components of the cell theory?

• all living organisms are composed of two or more cells

• all cells come from non-living matter

• all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms, and all cells come from pre-existing cells

• the cell is the basic unit of energy production in organisms
