Cell Functions

What is the main function of a cell?

• Regulate body temperature

• Carry out essential processes for the survival of an organism

• Store food for later use

• Produce energy through photosynthesis

Explain the role of the cell membrane in a cell's function.

• The cell membrane is only found in plant cells

• The cell membrane stores genetic information

• The cell membrane produces energy for the cell

• The cell membrane regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell, provides structural support, and allows cell signaling.

How do organelles contribute to the overall function of a cell?

• Organelles contribute to the overall function of a cell by causing dysfunction and chaos

• Organelles contribute to the overall function of a cell by being purely decorative

• Organelles contribute to the overall function of a cell by performing specific tasks essential for the cell's survival and proper functioning.

• Organelles contribute to the overall function of a cell by randomly changing their roles

Describe the importance of mitochondria in cellular function.

• Mitochondria are only found in plant cells

• Mitochondria have no role in energy production

• Mitochondria are essential for generating energy in the form of ATP and are involved in various cellular processes.

• Mitochondria are primarily involved in cell division

What is the significance of the nucleus in a cell's activities?

• The nucleus is responsible for producing energy in the cell.

• The nucleus regulates the cell's temperature.

• The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA) that controls the cell's activities.

• The nucleus stores waste materials in the cell.
