What is the primary function of the nucleus?

• Stores and protects genetic information.

• Assembles ribosomes.

• Separates chromosomes from cytoplasm.

• Allows molecules to enter and leave.

Where can ribosomes be found in a eukaryotic cell?

• Floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

• Inside the nucleus or within mitochondria.

• Within the Golgi apparatus or inside lysosomes.

• Attached to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum or within chloroplasts.

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

• Synthesizing proteins.

• Storing genetic information.

• Converting food energy into ATP.

• Detoxifying substances.

What is the primary function of the Golgi complex?

• Synthesizing proteins and lipids.

• Generating ATP for cellular energy.

• Modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids.

• Storing genetic material.

Which of the following is a primary function of lysosomes?

• Producing ribosomes.

• Storing water and maintaining turgor pressure.

• Breaking down waste materials and cellular debris.

• Facilitating cell movement and maintaining cell shape.
