1.Organelles in eukaryotic cells have specific functions. Match each function to the corresponding organelle:

  • Synthesis of proteins: Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), and Cytoplasm.
  • Packaging and modification of proteins: Golgi Apparatus.
  • Energy production: Mitochondria.
  • Intracellular digestion: Lysosomes.
  • Regulation of cell processes and storage of genetic information: Nucleus.

2.The cell membrane functions to:

b) Surround and protect the cell's internal components.

The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a semipermeable barrier that encloses the cell, separating its internal components from the external environment. It regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell, providing protection and structural support.

3. DNA is referred to as the "blueprint of life."

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is often referred to as the "blueprint of life" because it contains the genetic instructions that determine the development, functioning, and characteristics of living organisms. DNA carries the hereditary information that passes from one generation to the next in most organisms.
