Exploring Cell Structures and Functions

What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

• The primary function of the cell membrane is to control the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

• To provide structural support to the cell

• To store genetic information

• To facilitate energy production

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

• Nucleus

• Chloroplasts

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

What is the main function of the nucleus in a cell?

• To transport nutrients across the cell membrane

• The main function of the nucleus is to store and protect the cell's genetic material (DNA) and control cellular activities.

• To synthesize proteins for cellular functions

• To produce energy for the cell

Which organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell?

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Ribosome

What structure is unique to plant cells that provides support?

• Cell wall

• Nucleus

• Cell membrane

• Chloroplast

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

• Ribosomes transport nutrients across the cell membrane.

• Ribosomes generate energy for cellular processes.

• Ribosomes synthesize proteins in a cell.

• Ribosomes store genetic information in a cell.

Which organelle is involved in the synthesis of lipids?

• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

• Mitochondria

• Ribosome

• Golgi apparatus

What is the role of the cell membrane in maintaining homeostasis?

• The cell membrane is primarily responsible for energy production in the cell.

• The cell membrane acts as a storage unit for cellular waste.

• The cell membrane allows all substances to pass freely without regulation.

• The cell membrane maintains homeostasis by regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Which organelle is responsible for digestion and waste removal in animal cells?

• Mitochondria

• Lysosomes

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Ribosomes

What is the primary difference between plant and animal cells?

• Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while plant cells do not.

• Animal cells have a rigid structure, while plant cells are flexible.

• Plant cells are smaller than animal cells.
