Question

The diagram shown represents an animal cell. What is the function of structure X?





a
It synthesizes cellulose.
b
It produces centrioles.
c
It controls the energy release in respiration.
d
It regulates the tranport of materials.

Answer 1

Without seeing the specific diagram and knowing what structure X refers to, I can provide some general information about the functions of different structures in an animal cell:

- **Synthesis of cellulose** is a function of plant cell structures, particularly the cell wall, so it would not apply to an animal cell.
- The **production of centrioles** is related to the centrosome or centrosomal structures, which are involved in cell division.
- The **control of energy release in respiration** is typically the function of mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouses of the cell.
- The **regulation of transport of materials** could refer to the plasma membrane or endoplasmic reticulum, which can regulate the movement of substances into and out of the cell.

If you can provide more context or specify what structure X corresponds to, I can help identify the correct option. However, based on typical functions, if structure X is referring to mitochondria, then option c would be the correct choice.
