12. Why is chromatin important to the cell?

Explanation

Chromatin is important to the cell because it contains the genetic material (DNA) which carries the instructions for the cell's functions. DNA is responsible for encoding the proteins that are essential for the cell's structure, metabolism, and overall functioning. The thin strands of chromatin help to package and organize the DNA, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval of genetic information. Therefore, chromatin plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of the cell.

Submit
15. Identify the plant cell organelle that packages proteins and carbohydrates and exports it from the cell.

Explanation

The Golgi bodies, also known as the Golgi apparatus, are responsible for packaging proteins and carbohydrates within the plant cell. These organelles receive proteins and carbohydrates from the endoplasmic reticulum and modify them by adding necessary molecules. The Golgi bodies then package these modified proteins and carbohydrates into vesicles and transport them to the cell membrane for export out of the cell. Therefore, the Golgi bodies play a crucial role in the export of proteins and carbohydrates from the plant cell.
