If many of the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed, what effect would this most likely have on the cell?

• The cell would not be able to create energy.

• The cell would not be able to make proteins.

• The cell would not e able to photosynthesize.

• The cell would not be able to break down waste in the cell.

If a cell is compared to a city, then the Golgi apparatus, acts as the

• trash service of the cell as it removes waste from the cell

• post office of the cell by packaging and sorting proteins

• mayor of the cell as it controls all of the cell's activities

• electrical plant of the cell by making usable energy
