Cell Structure and Function Concepts

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

• To store waste

• To control cell activities

• To transport proteins

• To produce energy

What is the role of the nucleolus?

• To store genetic information

• To produce lipids

• To create ribosomal RNA

• To detoxify the cell

What distinguishes the rough ER from the smooth ER?

• Storage of genetic material

• Presence of ribosomes

• Production of lipids

• Detoxification function

Which of the following is NOT a function of the smooth ER?

• Detoxification

• Production of lipids

• Production of hormones

• Production of proteins

What is the main function of the Golgi body?

• To produce ATP

• To modify and export proteins

• To break down waste

• To store water

What happens to a protein after it is processed by the Golgi body?

• It is stored in the nucleus

• It is exported out of the cell

• It is converted to ATP

• It is broken down

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

• To store genetic information

• To perform cellular respiration

• To produce proteins

• To detoxify the cell

Which organelle contains digestive enzymes to break down food?

• Golgi body

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Lysosome

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

• To produce ATP

• To perform photosynthesis

• To detoxify the cell

• To store water

What is the main difference between the cell wall and the cell membrane?

• The cell wall is found in animal cells

• The cell membrane is selectively permeable

• The cell wall stores genetic information

• The cell membrane produces proteins
