Question 9

what is the function of the nucleus

Answer 9

it contains genetic material that controls the activities of the cell

Question 10

what is the function of mitochondria

Answer 10

where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration happen

Question 11

what is the function of cytoplasm
2 points

Answer 11

1) gel-like substance where most chemical reactions take place
2) it contains enzymes that control these chemical reactions

Question 12

what is the function of the cell membrane

Answer 12

holds the cell together and controls what goes in and out

Question 13

what is the function of ribosomes

Answer 13

where proteins are made in the cell

Question 14

what is the function of the cell wall

Answer 14

it’s made of cellulose and supports the cell and strengthens it

what is the function of chloroplasts
2 points

Answer 16

1) where photosynthesis occurs which makes food for the plant
