15
Q

It provides structural support and helps maintain the cell’s shape.

A

Structural Support (Cell Membrane)

16
Q

It provides a medium where many of the cell’s metabolic reactions occur.

A

Medium for Chemical Reactions (Cytoplasm)

17
Q

It supports and suspends the cell’s organelles, keeping them in place.

A

Support for Organelles (Cytoplasm)

18
Q

It plays a role in the transport of materials within the cell, facilitated by the cytoskeleton

A

Transport Within the Cell (Cytoplasm)

19
Q

This converts the energy stored in glucose and other nutrients into ATP through a process called cellular respiration

A

Energy Production (Mitochondria)

20
Q

They play a role in programmed cell death, which is crucial for development and maintaining healthy tissues

A

Apoptosis (Mitochondria)

21
Q

It is involved in the synthesis of lipids, including oils, phospholipids, and steroids.

A

Lipid Synthesis (SER)

22
Q

It helps in the detoxification of drugs and poisons in the liver.

A

Detoxification (SER)

23
Q

It stores calcium ions, which are vital for muscle contraction and other cellular processes.

A

Calcium Storage (SER)

24
Q

The ribosomes on it synthesize proteins, are then processed and modified within the it.

A

Protein Synthesis (RER)

25
Q

It transports synthesized proteins to the Golgi body for further processing and sorting.

A

Transport (RER)

26
Q

They capture light energy and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose & oxygen.

A

Photosynthesis (Chloroplasts)

27
Q

They also store starch, which is a product of photosynthesis

A

Storage of Starch (Chloroplasts)

28
Q

Maintains cell shape, prevents excessive water intake, and protects against mechanical stress.
