Cell Structure and Function

What is the large central vacuole's function in plant cells?

• It stores genetic information.

• It stores water, nutrients, and waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure.

• It is involved in photosynthesis.

• It aids in cellular respiration.

What is the purpose of the cell wall in plant cells?

• To provide structure and support to plant cells.

• To facilitate photosynthesis in plant cells.

• To store nutrients and waste products in plant cells.

• To regulate the movement of substances in and out of plant cells.

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

• Involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

• Responsible for energy production in the cell.

• Acts as a storage site for genetic material.

• Facilitates cell division and replication.

What is the role of the Golgi complex in a cell?

• The Golgi complex generates energy for the cell.

• The Golgi complex packages and distributes materials such as proteins for the cell.

• The Golgi complex is responsible for DNA replication.

• The Golgi complex controls the cell's movement.

Do both animal cells and plant cells have a cell membrane?

• TRUE

• FALSE

• ONLY ANIMAL CELLS

• ONLY PLANT CELLS

What is the function of vacuoles in animal cells?

• Store materials and help maintain cell shape.

• Produce energy for the cell.

• Transport nutrients across the cell membrane.

• Assist in cell division.

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

• Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

• Chloroplasts store nutrients and water for the plant.

• Chloroplasts help in the absorption of minerals from the soil.

• Chloroplasts provide structural support to the plant cell.

What do lysosomes do in animal cells?

• Release hormones that regulate cell growth

• Store genetic information for cell reproduction

• Release digestive enzymes that break down worn-out and damaged organelles and waste material in the cell

• Transport nutrients to other parts of the cell

What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?

• Mitochondria break down glucose through cellular respiration and make energy for the cell.

• Mitochondria are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

• Mitochondria help in the detoxification of harmful substances.

• Mitochondria store genetic information for the cell.

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

• The nucleus controls the activities of the cell and contains the cell's genetic material.

• The nucleus is responsible for energy production in the cell.

• The nucleus helps in the synthesis of proteins.

• The nucleus regulates the cell's waste disposal.
