What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

• The cell membrane provides structural support to the cell.

• The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell.

• The cell membrane stores genetic information.

• The cell membrane produces energy for the cell.

What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum in a cell?

• The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis and transport of proteins and lipids.

• The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for energy production in the cell.

• The endoplasmic reticulum helps in the digestion of cellular waste.

• The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the replication of DNA.

What do animals do to obtain food, and how do plants produce their food?

• Animals eat their food, while plants produce their food through chloroplasts.

• Animals hunt for food, and plants absorb nutrients from the soil.

• Animals gather food, and plants create food using sunlight and water.

How do plant cells differ from animal cells in terms of shape?

• Plant cells are typically round and flexible.

• Plant cells typically have a fixed, rectangular shape due to the cell wall.

• Animal cells have a rigid structure due to the cell wall.

• Plant cells are usually smaller than animal cells.
