KS3 - plant and animal cells - the functions

What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?

• The jelly-like main component of cells, where most chemical reactions occur.

• Layer around a cell that controls substances entering and leaving the cell.

• Part of the cell that contains the genetic material (DNA) which controls the cell’s activities.

• Structures in a cell that produce ATP - the main energy molecule.

The cell wall is best described as..

• Tough outer layer of animal cells that supports the cell and is made of cellulose.

• Weak outer layer of plant cells that doesn't support the cell and is made of cellulose.

• Weak outer layer of animal cells that doesn't support the cell and is made of cellulose.

• Tough outer layer of plant cells that supports the cell and is made of cellulose.

• Part of a cell that contains liquid and can be used by plants to keep the cell rigid and store substances.

• Is the site of protein synthesis.

• The jelly-like main component of cells, where most chemical reactions occur.

• Part of the cell that contains the genetic material (DNA) which controls the cell’s activities.
