Cell Organelle Functions

What is the function of the plasma membrane?

• It provides structural support to the cell.

• It regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

• It stores genetic information for the cell.

• It produces energy for the cell.

How do ribosomes contribute to protein synthesis?

• Ribosomes translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains, forming proteins.

• Ribosomes store genetic information for protein synthesis.

• Ribosomes transport amino acids to the nucleus for DNA replication.

• Ribosomes break down proteins into amino acids for recycling.

What is the function of lysosomes in a cell?

• Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

• Lysosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

• Lysosomes help in the production of energy for the cell.

• Lysosomes are involved in the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane.

What is the primary function of ribosomes in a cell?

• Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins for the cell.

• Ribosomes are involved in the breakdown of waste materials.

• Ribosomes help in the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane.

• Ribosomes are responsible for energy production in the cell.

What is the difference between a vacuole in plant cells and animal cells?

• Plant cells have smaller vacuoles, while animal cells have a large central vacuole.

• Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole for storage and maintaining turgor pressure, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles.

• Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles of the same size and function.

• Animal cells do not have vacuoles, while plant cells have multiple small vacuoles.

What is the role of Golgi Bodies in a cell?

• Golgi Bodies transport and ship proteins, similar to a UPS system.

• Golgi Bodies are responsible for energy production in the cell.

• Golgi Bodies help in the synthesis of DNA.

• Golgi Bodies are involved in the breakdown of waste materials.

What organelle is responsible for storing water in both plant and animal cells?

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

How do Golgi Bodies interact with the endoplasmic reticulum?

• Golgi Bodies produce proteins that are sent to the endoplasmic reticulum.

• Golgi Bodies receive proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum, modify them, and then send them to their final destinations.

• Golgi Bodies break down waste materials from the endoplasmic reticulum.

• Golgi Bodies store proteins until they are needed by the endoplasmic reticulum.

What is the primary function of mitochondria in a cell?

• Mitochondria are structures that convert nutrients into energy through cellular respiration.

• Mitochondria are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

• Mitochondria help in the storage of genetic information.

• Mitochondria are involved in the detoxification of harmful substances.

What is the function of the cell wall?

• To provide energy for the cell

• To facilitate cell division

• To provide structural support and protection

• To regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell
