Cell Organelles and Their Functions

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

• To store genetic information

• The primary function of mitochondria is to produce ATP through cellular respiration.

• To synthesize proteins

• To regulate cell division

How do chloroplasts contribute to photosynthesis?

• Chloroplasts store energy in the form of starch during photosynthesis.

• Chloroplasts are responsible for the respiration process in plants.

• Chloroplasts capture light energy and convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.

• Chloroplasts release carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen during photosynthesis.

What role does the nucleus play in a cell?

• The nucleus produces energy for the cell.

• The nucleus controls cell activities and stores genetic information.

• The nucleus transports nutrients within the cell.

• The nucleus is responsible for protein synthesis.

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

• Ribosomes synthesize proteins by translating mRNA into amino acid sequences.

• Ribosomes store genetic information for protein synthesis.

• Ribosomes transport proteins to the cell membrane.

• Ribosomes break down proteins into amino acids.

How does the endoplasmic reticulum assist in cellular processes?

• The endoplasmic reticulum assists in synthesizing proteins and lipids, processing proteins, and detoxifying substances.

• The endoplasmic reticulum generates energy for the cell.

• The endoplasmic reticulum stores genetic information.

• The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for cell division.

What is the main function of the Golgi apparatus?

• To generate energy for the cell

• To store genetic information

• The main function of the Golgi apparatus is to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

• To synthesize carbohydrates

What energy molecule is produced by mitochondria?

• Glucose

• NADH

• ATP

• FADH2

In which organelle does photosynthesis occur?

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Chloroplasts

What type of genetic material is stored in the nucleus?

• Lipids

• Proteins

• DNA

• RNA

What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum and their functions?

• Rough ER (protein synthesis) and Smooth ER (lipid synthesis and detoxification)

• Rough ER (detoxification) and Smooth ER (protein synthesis)

• Rough ER (energy production) and Smooth ER (cell division)

• Rough ER (lipid synthesis) and Smooth ER (protein synthesis)
