Cell Structure and Function

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• The cell membrane is responsible for protein synthesis.

• The cell membrane provides energy for cellular processes.

• The cell membrane controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.

• The cell membrane stores genetic information.

What surrounds the cells of plants, providing support and protection?

• Cell wall

• Cell membrane

• Chloroplast

• Cytoplasm

What is the control center of a eukaryotic cell and directs the cell’s activities?

• Ribosomes

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

What does the nuclear membrane do?

• The nuclear membrane is responsible for protein synthesis.

• Allow material to enter and leave nucleus.

• The nuclear membrane generates energy for the cell.

• The nuclear membrane stores genetic information.

What do chromosomes contain?

• Chromosomes are made of carbohydrates.

• Chromosomes consist of lipids and sugars.

• Contain instructions for traits & characteristics

• Chromosomes contain only RNA.

What is the role of the nucleolus in a cell?

• The nucleolus is responsible for protein synthesis in the cytoplasm.

• The nucleolus produces ribosomal RNA and it's inside the nucleus

• The nucleolus regulates cell metabolism and energy production.

• The nucleolus synthesizes DNA for cell division.

What is the cytoplasm?

• The cytoplasm is the genetic material found in the nucleus.

• The cytoplasm is the outer membrane of a cell.

• The cytoplasm is a type of organelle surrounded by cell membrane

• The cytoplasm contains chlorophyll.

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum?

• The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for energy production.

• The endoplasmic reticulum transports oxygen in the cell.

• The endoplasmic reticulum stores genetic material.

• The endoplasmic reticulum forms passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried through the cell.

What do ribosomes produce?

• Lipids

• Carbohydrates

• Nucleic acids

• Proteins

What is the main function of mitochondria?

• To regulate cell division

• To synthesize proteins

• The main function of mitochondria to produce energy through chemical reactions – breaking down fats & carbohydrates.

• To store genetic material
