Question
All eukaryotic cells contain similar organelles that work together to support life. Which two of the following sentences accurately describe organelle functions that are needed in plant cells in particular?
The endoplasmic reticulum transports molecules within the cell.
Chloroplasts produce simple sugars using energy from light waves.
Mitochondria provide the cell with energy when they break food molecules.
The nucleus controls all functions in the cell because of instructions found in DNA.
Central vacuoles can provide support that keeps cells rigid because of water pressure.

The two sentences that accurately describe organelle functions needed in plant cells in particular are:
1. **Chloroplasts produce simple sugars using energy from light waves.** - This function is specific to plant cells, as chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in sugars.
2. **Central vacuoles can provide support that keeps cells rigid because of water pressure.** - Plant cells often contain a large central vacuole that maintains turgor pressure, helping to support the plant structure and keep cells rigid.
