How Cell Parts Work Together Practice Test

Use the cell model shown. The arrows indicate coordinated interactions: cell membrane  cytoplasm, nucleus  ribosomes, ribosomes  endoplasmic reticulum (ER), ER  Golgi apparatus, and Golgi  cell membrane. The model highlights that no single part works alone and that overall cell function depends on coordination.

Which interaction shown in the model most directly supports the cells overall function of releasing a useful product (such as a protein) to the outside of the cell?

Two students compare models of an animal cell and a plant cell. In both models, arrows show coordination among parts, and both models state that no single part works alone and overall function depends on coordination.

Animal cell model arrows: nucleus  ribosomes  rough ER  Golgi  cell membrane (release).

Plant cell model arrows: nucleus  ribosomes  ER  Golgi  cell membrane, plus chloroplast  cytoplasm and cell wall  cell membrane.

Which comparison statement is supported by these models?
