1. Which of the following organelles is responsible for generating most of the cell's supply of ATP, used as a source of chemical energy?
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Ribosome
Endoplasmic Reticulum
2. What is the primary function of the cell wall in plant cells?
To control what enters and leaves the cell
To store genetic information
To provide structural support and protection
To carry out photosynthesis
3. The is a jelly-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles.
4. Plant cells have a large central that stores water, nutrients, and waste products.
5. The is often called the 'control center' of the cell because it contains the cell's genetic material.
