Stores genetic material and regulates cell growth.

Conatains enzymes
where chemical reactions happen

Aids in protein synthesis and cellular respiration.

Provides structural support and protects the cell from external environment.

The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills the cell and contains enzymes where various chemical reactions take place, contributing to the cell's metabolism and function.

Explanation

The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills the cell and contains enzymes where various chemical reactions take place, contributing to the cell's metabolism and function.

5. What is the function of the cell membrane?

Regulates cell division

Produces energy for the cell

-holds the cell together
-controles what goes in and out

Stores genetic information

The cell membrane primarily functions to maintain the structural integrity of the cell and regulate the passage of molecules in and out of the cell.

Explanation

The cell membrane primarily functions to maintain the structural integrity of the cell and regulate the passage of molecules in and out of the cell.
