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

• The cell wall allows for nutrient absorption in plant cells.

• The cell wall functions to provide structural support and protection to plant cells.

• The cell wall is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

• The cell wall regulates water intake in plant cells.

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

• Ribosomes transport nutrients across the cell membrane.

• Ribosomes store genetic information in a cell.

• Ribosomes synthesize proteins in a cell.

• Ribosomes are responsible for cell division.

Which part of the cell contains genetic material?

• Endoplasmic reticulum

• Ribosomes

• Nucleus (in eukaryotic cells) or nucleoid (in prokaryotic cells)

• Mitochondria

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles; eukaryotic cells do.

• Prokaryotic cells can be multicellular; eukaryotic cells are unicellular.

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus; eukaryotic cells do not.

• Eukaryotic cells are always smaller than prokaryotic cells.

What organelle is involved in the modification and packaging of proteins?

• Ribosome

• Endoplasmic reticulum

• Lysosome
