Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plasma membrane is composed of phospholipids and cholesterol molecules that form a barrier around the cell, regulating the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.

Answer: B
 The nucleus contains genetic material and is responsible for regulating and controlling cellular functions, including cell growth and division.

Answer: C
 Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins, which are essential for many cellular functions.

Answer: D
 Mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration, producing ATP (energy) for the cell.

Answer: E
 The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification of drugs and other toxins.

Answer: F
 The rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes and is responsible for protein synthesis.

Answer: G
 Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down and recycle cellular waste and debris.

Answer: H
 Centrioles are responsible for organizing the spindle fibers during cell division.

Answer: I
 Microvilli are small, finger-like projections on the plasma membrane that increase the cell's surface area, allowing for more efficient nutrient absorption.

Answer: J
 The nucleolus is a substructure inside the nucleus where ribosomes are synthesized.
