collects and releases wastes for the cell

The description that matches structure X would depend on what structure X specifically refers to. Based on your options, here are the functions associated with typical structures in animal or plant cells:

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

B. Collects and releases wastes for the cell - This could describe structures like vesicles or lysosomes, but it is not specific to a prominent cell structure.

C. Creates and distributes energy for the cell - This describes the mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouse of the cell, providing energy in the form of ATP.

D. Contains the genetic information of the cell - This describes the nucleus, where DNA is housed.

If you can specify which structure X refers to, I can give a more direct answer. However, if you are referring to common structures, here are the functions:

  • If structure X is the cell membrane, then the answer is A.
  • If structure X is mitochondria, then the answer is C.
  • If structure X is the nucleus, then the answer is D.

Select accordingly based on the structure you're inquiring about.
