Cell Organelles, Functions, and Cell Theory

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

• To produce energy for the cell.

• To modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery.

• To synthesize DNA and RNA.

• To transport materials within the cell.

What is the function of the mitochondria?

• To produce energy for the cell.

• To store genetic information.

• To synthesize proteins.

• To regulate cell division.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• To provide structural support to the cell.

• To allow selected materials to enter/leave the cell.

• To store genetic information.

• To produce energy for the cell.

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus; eukaryotic cells do not.

• Prokaryotic cells are larger than eukaryotic cells.

• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus; eukaryotic cells do.

• Prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles; eukaryotic cells do not.

What is the cell theory?

• All living things are made of cells.

• Cells are the basic unit of life.

• All cells come from pre-existing cells.

• Cells can arise spontaneously from non-living matter.
