Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plasma membrane is made up of phospholipids and cholesterol molecules and functions as a barrier, regulating the entry and exit of materials into and out of the cell.

Answer: B
 The nucleus houses genetic material and controls cellular activities, including protein synthesis and cell division.

Answer: C

Answer: E
 The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification of drugs and poisons.

Answer: F
 The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and modification.

Answer: G
 Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and function in the intracellular degradation of macromolecules, as well as the removal of damaged organelles.

Answer: H
 Centrioles play a role in cell division by organizing and separating chromosomes.

Answer: I
 Microvilli are finger-like projections on the surface of cells that increase surface area, allowing for more efficient absorption of nutrients.

Answer: J
 The nucleolus is the site of ribosome synthesis.
