What role does the mitochondria play in the cell?

• It is the storage tank for water and nutrients

• It is responsible for synthesizing proteins

• It acts as the "skin" of the cell

• It allows the cell to use energy from food

What is the primary function of ribosomes in a cell?

• They act as the "Gate Keeper" of the cell

• They store water and nutrients

• They synthesize or "make" protein

• They contain the cell's parts (organelles)

What is the vacuole commonly referred to as, and what does it store?

• The "Brain" of the cell, storing and directing information
