The picture shows a type of cell with structure X labeled.

Which describes a function of structure X?
A.
controls what can enter and exit the cell

B.
collects and releases wastes for the cell

C.
creates and distributes energy for the cell

D.
contains the genetic information of the cell

1 answer

To determine the correct function of structure X, we need to identify which structure X refers to in a cell. However, without seeing the picture, I can provide some general information about common cell structures and their functions:

A. Controls what can enter and exit the cell - This describes the function of the cell membrane.

B. Collects and releases wastes for the cell - This function is typically associated with lysosomes or vesicles.

C. Creates and distributes energy for the cell - This describes the function of mitochondria (producing energy) or chloroplasts (in plant cells, performing photosynthesis).

D. Contains the genetic information of the cell - This function is associated with the nucleus.

Based on these descriptions:

  • If structure X is identified as the cell membrane, the correct answer would be A.
  • If structure X is identified as lysosomes, the correct answer would be B.
  • If structure X is identified as mitochondria, the correct answer would be C.
  • If structure X is identified as the nucleus, the correct answer would be D.

With more details about the structure shown in the image, I could give a more precise answer. If you can identify what structure X represents, I can help you choose the correct function.
