James, Jackson, and Benjamin are studying the structure of a cell and discussing the role of the cell membrane in a real-life example. They are comparing the cell membrane to a security checkpoint at an airport. Can you help them understand the function of the cell membrane in this context?

• The function of the cell membrane is to provide structural support to the cell, like the airport's architecture.

• The function of the cell membrane is to produce energy for the cell, like the power supply at the airport.

• The function of the cell membrane is to store genetic information in the cell, like the airport's database of passengers.

• The function of the cell membrane is to control the movement of substances in and out of the cell, like the security checkpoint at the airport.

Which organelle contains the genetic material of a cell?

• cell membrane

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• mitochondria

Aiden, Kai, and Abigail are in a biology lab studying cells under a microscope. They observe the endoplasmic reticulum in a cell and are curious about its function. Can you help them understand?

• The function of the endoplasmic reticulum is protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and detoxification.

• The function of the endoplasmic reticulum is cell division.

• The function of the endoplasmic reticulum is energy production.

• The function of the endoplasmic reticulum is waste elimination.

Scarlett, Abigail, and Kai are studying cells in their biology class. They learned that each cell has a nucleus. What is the function of this nucleus in a cell?

• The function of the nucleus in a cell is to control gene expression and store DNA.

• The function of the nucleus in a cell is to provide structural support.

• The function of the nucleus in a cell is to transport nutrients.

• The function of the nucleus in a cell is to produce energy.

David, William, Rohan, Daniel, Evelyn, and Abigail are on a school trip to a science museum. They come across an interactive exhibit about cells. Can you help them figure out the main function of the cell membrane, which is one of the exhibits?

• Regulate the movement of substances

• Produce energy for the cell

• Store genetic information

• Protect the cell from external threats
