Question

1. which organelle has the function to synthesize amino acids into proteins using dna as the instruction to build protein? a. plasma (cell) membrane b. mitochondria c. nucleus d. ribosome 7. which organelle has the function to protect the outside of a cell? a. plasma (cell) membrane b. mitochondria c. nucleus d. ribosome 8. which organelle has the function to store and protect dna that is given to offspring? a. plasma (cell) membrane b. mitochondria c. nucleus d. ribosome 9. identify the organelle a. lysosome b. mitochondria c. nucleus d. ribosome 10. identify the organelle displayed in the model (hint: the purple dots) a. lysosome b. mitochondria c. nucleus d. ribosome

Explanation:

• Question 6: Ribosomes use DNA - derived instructions to synthesize proteins from amino - acids.
• Question 7: The plasma (cell) membrane protects the outside of a cell, controlling the movement of substances in and out.
• Question 8: The nucleus stores and protects the DNA that is passed on to offspring.
• Question 9: The organelle shown is mitochondria, which are the power - houses of the cell.
• Question 10: Ribosomes are often depicted as small dots in cell models, and the purple dots likely represent ribosomes.

Answer:

1. d. Ribosome
2. a. Plasma (Cell) Membrane
3. c. Nucleus
4. b. Mitochondria
5. d. Ribosome
