Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The minimal essential functions of cellular life include the ability to store genetic information and the ability to make proteins. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, so including them in an artificial cell would be necessary for it to perform basic cellular functions. Cell walls, mitochondria, and nuclei are not essential for basic cellular processes.
