Here are the cell organelles matched with their respective functions:
-
Inside the nucleus:
- A. unraveled form of DNA (This refers to chromatin, which is the form of DNA inside the nucleus when a cell is not dividing.)
- E. darker region where ribosomes are made (This refers to the nucleolus, which is found within the nucleus and is where ribosomes are produced.)
-
Plant cells:
- B. barrier that protects plant & bacterial cells (This refers to the cell wall, which is a rigid layer that provides support and protection.)
- D. stores water; maintains shape of plant cell (This refers to the central vacuole, which stores water and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.)
- G. transforms solar energy into kinetic energy (glucose) (This refers to chloroplasts, which are the site of photosynthesis in plant cells.)
-
Animal cells:
- C. used to divide DNA during cell division (This refers to the spindle apparatus, which helps in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis.)
- F. digests food vacuoles & recycles plant cells (This typically refers to lysosomes, which are involved in digestion and waste recycling in animal cells, although in a plant cell context, this function might be more associated with vacuoles or peroxisomes. But since it’s labeled as animal cells, we keep it here for lysosomes.)
So the final match would be:
- A: Inside the nucleus
- B: Plant cells
- C: Animal cells
- D: Plant cells
- E: Inside the nucleus
- F: Animal cells
- G: Plant cells
