Question

structures in an animal cell are represented in the diagram below. which answer choice correctly identifies the functions of structures a, b, and c? 1 structure a = waste removal; structure b = extract energy from nutrients; structure c = protein synthesis 2 structure a = information storage; structure b = transport of materials; structure c = storage of liquids 3 structure a = protein synthesis; structure b = storage of wastes; structure c = reproduction 4 structure a = cell communication; structure b = transport of materials; structure c = waste removal

Explanation:

Typically in an animal - cell, the cell membrane (could be A) is involved in cell - communication, mitochondria (could be B) are responsible for extracting energy from nutrients, and the nucleus (could be C) is related to information storage. Among the options, the first one correctly matches common cell - structure functions where a possible cell - membrane (A) can be involved in waste - removal (also a part of its function in regulating substances), mitochondria (B) extract energy from nutrients, and ribosomes (if C represents ribosomes) are involved in protein synthesis.

Answer:

1. Structure A = waste removal; Structure B = extract energy from nutrients; Structure C = protein synthesis
