Exploring the World of Cells

What is the primary role of cells in the human body?

• To store genetic information

• To produce energy for the body

• To transport oxygen

• To provide structure and take in nutrients

What is the function of the cell wall?

• To provide protection and structure

• To produce proteins

• To regulate what enters and exits the cell

• To store nutrients

Which part of the cell is responsible for regulating entry and exit?

• Ribosome

• Cell membrane

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

What is the main function of the cytoplasm?

• To transport proteins

• To provide a medium for chemical reactions

• To store genetic material

• To produce energy

What role does the nucleus play in the cell?

• It stores nutrients

• It detoxifies the cell

• It regulates cell activities and contains DNA

• It is responsible for protein synthesis

What is the primary function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

• To manufacture proteins

• To produce energy

• To store lipids

• To break down waste

What does the Golgi apparatus do in the cell?

• It stores genetic information

• It provides energy

• It synthesizes proteins

• It packages and sorts proteins for transport

Where are proteins synthesized in the cell?

• In the nucleus

• In the ribosomes

• In the Golgi apparatus

• In the lysosomes

What is the function of lysosomes?

• To store nutrients

• To produce energy

• To break down waste materials

• To transport proteins

How does the mitochondria contribute to the cell?

• By storing genetic material

• By producing energy through cellular respiration

• By synthesizing proteins

• By detoxifying the cell
