Animal Cell Function

How does the structure of the mitochondria in an animal cell relate to its function in terms of energy production?

• The folded inner membrane increases surface area for ATP production

• The smooth outer membrane is where ATP is synthesized

• The mitochondria's shape allows it to store more energy

• The mitochondria's size is directly proportional to the energy produced

Which part of the animal cell is responsible for protein synthesis and how does it relate to mathematical modeling of biological processes?

• Nucleus, as it contains the DNA

• Ribosomes, which can be modeled as discrete units in equations

• Mitochondria, due to its energy production

• Golgi apparatus, for its role in packaging proteins

In an animal cell, the cell membrane is selectively permeable. How can this concept be related to a mathematical function?

• It acts like a linear function allowing all inputs

• It acts like a step function allowing only certain inputs

• It acts like a quadratic function with variable outputs

• It acts like a constant function with no change
