What is the primary function of the cell membrane in a eukaryotic cell?

• To store genetic information

• To control the movement of substances in and out of the cell

• To produce energy

• To synthesize proteins

Develop a model to explain how the nucleus and mitochondria work together to support cell function.

• The nucleus provides energy for the mitochondria to function.

• The mitochondria send signals to the nucleus to control cell division.

• The nucleus contains DNA that codes for proteins needed by the mitochondria to produce energy.

• The mitochondria store genetic information for the nucleus.

Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of proteins?

• Lysosomes

• Vacuole

• Ribosomes

• Chloroplasts

Explain how chloroplasts and mitochondria contribute to the energy balance in plant cells.

• Chloroplasts convert sunlight into chemical energy, while mitochondria convert chemical energy into usable energy.

• Both chloroplasts and mitochondria store energy in the form of ATP.

• Chloroplasts and mitochondria both produce oxygen for the cell.

• Chloroplasts and mitochondria both break down glucose to release energy.

How do the cell wall and cell membrane differ in their functions?

• The cell wall provides structural support, while the cell membrane regulates the entry and exit of substances.

• The cell wall stores nutrients, while the cell membrane stores waste.

• The cell wall synthesizes proteins, while the cell membrane produces energy.

• The cell wall controls cell division, while the cell membrane controls cell growth.

Which scientist is credited with the discovery of cells?

• Anton van Leeuwenhoek

• Robert Hooke

• Mattias Schleiden

• Theodor Schwann

What is the primary function of the vacuole in plant cells?

• To produce energy

• To store water and maintain turgor pressure

• To synthesize proteins

• To digest cellular waste

Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in terms of their structure and function.

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do not.

• Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.

• Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have chloroplasts.

• Prokaryotic cells are larger and more complex than eukaryotic cells.
