A scientist is comparing the outer structure of an onion cell, structure X, to the outer structure of a human skin cell, structure Y. Which generalization is true about the types of structures being examined?

• Structure X is not living, and structure Y is living.

• Structure X can be found in some human cells, and structure Y can be found in some plant cells.

• Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.

• Structure X is semipermeable, and structure Y is selectively permeable.

Consider the cell structure that is shown below.

Which is a function of the structure that is represented in the image?

• controls the movement of substances into and out of cells

• builds proteins from amino acids

• helps in determining plant cell shape

• provides support and protection
