Select the correct definition of cell membrane. 

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

• A rigid supporting layer that surrounds the cells of plants.

• An organelle in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and is then used to make food.

• Converts energy stored in food to energy the cell can use to live and function.

Use the following information to answer the question: All the organelles in a cell work together to help the cell and the whole organism function. Some diseases are caused by the failure of one type of organelle.

A mosaic is a picture made up of small colored pieces. Mosaic viruses cause plant leaves to look like mosaic art. A mixture of dark and light green patches appear on the leaves. The light green patches are not able to capture much energy from sunlight. Which organelle is affected by mosaic viruses?

• vacuole

• mitochondria

• chloroplast

• cell wall
