Which of the following best describes the role of an organelle?

• It controls the entire organism.

• It acts as a simple component that does not contribute to cell function.

• It performs specific tasks that help the cell function, like producing energy or storing information.

• It can survive outside of a cell on its own.

The cell membrane:

• Controls what enters and leaves the cell

• Is found only in plants

• Is not present in animal cells

• Is a hard, protective layer

How does the cell membrane function in maintaining homeostasis?

• It allows only water to enter.

• It controls the passage of materials in and out of the cell to maintain a stable internal environment.

• It keeps the cell rigid.

• It prevents any molecules from passing through.

The cell wall is found:

• Only in animal cells

• In plant cells, bacteria, fungi, and some protists

• Only in prokaryotes

• Around the nucleus

What is the primary function of the cell wall?

• To generate energy

• To provide support and protection to the cell

• To produce proteins

• To help with cell division

Chloroplasts are responsible for:

• Breaking down waste products

• Photosynthesis in plant cells

• Producing proteins

• Controlling the cell’s activities

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

Why are chloroplasts important to plants?

• They transport nutrients.

• They produce glucose and oxygen through photosynthesis, providing energy for the plant.

• They store genetic information.

• They create a rigid structure for cells.

Cytoplasm is:

• The rigid outer layer of a cell

• A jelly-like substance that holds organelles in place

• Only found in plant cells

• A specialized structure for producing proteins

Which of the following best describes the function of the cytoplasm?

• It produces energy.

• It provides a medium for chemical reactions to occur and supports the organelles within the cell.

• It controls cell division.

• It stores genetic information.
