Animal Cell Organelles and Function Quiz

What is the main function of the cell membrane?

• Control the movement of substances in and out of the cell

• Provide energy to the cell

• Regulate cell division

• Store genetic material

Describe the structure of the cell membrane and how it helps in its function.

• The cell membrane is composed of a rigid structure with no flexibility

• The cell membrane is a single layer of protein

• The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.

• The cell membrane is made of carbohydrates and nucleic acids

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

• Waste storage

• Energy production

• Control center of the cell

• Cell wall formation

How does the nucleus control the cell's activities?

• Controlling the cell membrane permeability

• Regulating gene expression and synthesizing RNA and ribosomes

• Producing energy through photosynthesis

• Regulating blood flow in the body

What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?

• Produces energy through cellular respiration

• Regulates the movement of materials in and out of the cell

• Stores water and nutrients for the cell

• Provides structural support for the cell

Explain how mitochondria produce energy for the cell.

• Through photosynthesis and the production of glucose

• By breaking down carbohydrates and producing water

• By converting sunlight into energy for the cell

• Through cellular respiration and the production of ATP

What is the main function of the endoplasmic reticulum?

• Protein and lipid synthesis, and material transportation

• Cell division

• Energy production

• Waste elimination

Describe the role of the endoplasmic reticulum in protein synthesis.

• Provides energy for protein synthesis

• Regulates the temperature for protein synthesis

• Stores excess water for protein synthesis

• Provides a site for the synthesis, folding, and transport of proteins
