The function of cells: how much you know quiz. Cells are the building blocks for all living things. There exist millions of cells in the human body, which are divided into different types with a specific function. The nucleus of a cell contains the genetic information necessary for cell growth and reproduction. Do you know what role the other parts of the cell pay? This quiz will help you find out!
