The model shows a type of cell.

Question

Which best describes the function of the structures that are labelled P and L?
A.
Structure P controls what enters and exits the cell, and structure L makes food for the cell.

B.
Structure P holds all the parts of the cell, and structure L provides rigid support for the cell.

C.
Structure P makes food for the cell, and structure L stores the genetic instructions for the cell.

D.
Structure P creates the energy for the cell, and structure L controls what enters and exits the cell.

Answer 1

To accurately determine which answer choice best describes the functions of the structures labelled P and L in a cell, we need to consider what those structures typically represent in a cell model.

1. Structure P: If it is the mitochondria, it would be responsible for creating energy for the cell.
2. Structure L: If it is the cell membrane, it would control what enters and exits the cell.

Based on these common functions:

• If Structure P is the mitochondria (energy production) and Structure L is the cell membrane (regulation of what enters and exits), then the correct answer would be:

D. Structure P creates the energy for the cell, and structure L controls what enters and exits the cell.

If you have a specific diagram or additional details about structures P and L, please provide them for a more accurate assessment!
