What is the function of the Endoplasmic reticulum?

translating and folding new proteins

producing energy in the form of ATP

allowing for photosynthesis

contain the DNA and control activities of the cell

Explanation

The answer is "translating and folding new proteins"

Cell membrane:in animal cells, this separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space)

Cell wall: in plant cells, gives the cell a rigid rectangular shape, helps to keep the organelles inside the cell, and does not let the cell burst due to changes in pressure.

Chloroplast: in plant cells, allows for photosynthesis, traps energy from sunlight

Endoplasmic reticulum: translation and folding of new proteins

Flagellum: Helps a cell move (not all cells have these)

Golgi apparatus: sorting, packaging, processing and modification of proteins

Mitochondrion: Produces energy in the form of ATP

Nucleus: contains DNA, controls all activities of the cell, performs RNA transcription

Vacuole: stores nutrients, transportation, helps maintain homeostasis

2

Which of these is present in plant cells but not animal cells?

chloroplasts

mitochondria

vacuole

cell membrane

Explanation

The answer is chloroplasts.

Cell membrane:in animal cells, this separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space)

Cell wall: in plant cells, gives the cell a rigid rectangular shape, helps to keep the organelles inside the cell, and does not let the cell burst due to changes in pressure.

3

Which of the following is the function of a mitochondria?

to produce energy in the form of ATP

to package and store protein

to perform RNA transcription

allow for photosynthesis

Explanation

The answer is "to produce energy in the form of ATP."

This image shows the components of which organelle?

cell wall

vacuole

chloroplast

mitochondria

Explanation

The answer is "cell wall" because we see an image of a plant cell and the cell wall's infrastructure.

Cell membrane:in animal cells, this separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space)

Cell wall: in plant cells, gives the cell a rigid rectangular shape, helps to keep the organelles inside the cell, and does not let the cell burst due to changes in pressure.

5

Which of these is responsible for sorting, packaging, processing, and modifying proteins in a cell?

Golgi bodies

Mitochondria

Vacuoles

The nucleus

Explanation

The answer is "Golgi bodies"
