Exploring Cell Organelles and Their Functions

What are the three main sections of a eukaryotic cell?

• Plasma membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm

• Cell wall, mitochondria, and nucleus

• Cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm

• Plasma membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm

What is the primary function of the cytoplasm?

• To control cell activities

• To produce energy

• To store genetic information

• To facilitate chemical reactions and dissolve solutes

What is the composition of the plasma membrane?

• A single layer of lipids

• A bilayer of lipids and proteins

• A layer of carbohydrates

• A layer of nucleic acids

Which molecules can pass through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane without assistance?

• Amino acids

• Water and oxygen

• Proteins

• Glucose

Why is the nucleus often referred to as the control center of the cell?

• It breaks down waste materials

• It produces energy for the cell

• It stores and protects the cell's DNA

• It transports proteins

What is the primary function of ribosomes?

• To make proteins

• To break down toxins

• To produce energy

• To store genetic information

What is the role of the Golgi body in the cell?

• To store genetic information

• To modify, sort, and package proteins

• To produce ribosomes

• To facilitate chemical reactions

What is the main function of mitochondria?

• To break down waste materials

• To store genetic information

• To produce energy in the form of ATP

• To make proteins

What is the function of lysosomes?

• To facilitate chemical reactions

• To produce energy

• To break down food and destroy pathogens

• To store genetic information

What is the primary function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

• To store genetic information

• To produce energy in the form of ATP

• To perform photosynthesis

• To break down waste materials
