What is the function of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

• Where the blueprint for making proteins (your genetic material) is stored in large molecules of DNA.

• It is responsible for energy production in the cell.

• It helps in the digestion of cellular waste materials.

• It provides structural support to the cell.

Where are proteins synthesized within the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

• In the ribosomes attached to the RER

• In the Golgi apparatus

• In the mitochondria

• In the cytoplasm

What is the role of ribosomes in eukaryotic cells?

• Protein synthesis

• Energy production

• DNA replication

• Lipid synthesis

What is the function of the Golgi body (Golgi Apparatus) in eukaryotic cells?

• Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell

• Produces ATP through cellular respiration

• Synthesizes proteins from amino acids

• Breaks down waste materials and cellular debris

What are vesicles and what is their function in eukaryotic cells? Created by endocytosis and exocytosis.

• Vesicles are small structures within cells that transport substances.

• Vesicles are large organelles responsible for energy production.

• Vesicles are involved in the synthesis of proteins.

• Vesicles are responsible for cell division.

Where food energy is placed into ATP molecules. Where most energy conversion occur within cell?

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Golgi apparatus

Extra food and water are stored in these. Plant cells have a very large one of these that helps to maintain pressure in plant cells and store more water for them.

• Vacuoles

• Vesicles

• Cytoskeleton

• Nucleus

Special vesicles that have digestive enzymes used for breaking apart molecules of food, digesting invading bacteria, and recycling cell parts.

• Lysosomes

• Vacuole

• Golgi Body

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

What is the cytoskeleton made of and what is its function?

• The cytoskeleton is made of long proteins that help the cell keep its shape and structure.

• The cytoskeleton is made of carbohydrates and its function is to store energy.

• The cytoskeleton is composed of lipids and its function is to insulate the cell.

• The cytoskeleton is made of nucleic acids and its function is to encode genetic information.

Solution that contains all of the cell's water, nutrients, and dissolved gases, and organelles between the nucleus and outer cell membrane.

• Organelles

• Cytoplasm

• Cell wall

• Chlorophyll
