BIOL-Cell Biology
Which of the following are features all cells have in common?
Cytoplasm Plasma membrane
Match each eukaryotic cell structure to its function.
Mitochondria Location of cellular respiration, which produces ATP Rough endoplasmic reticulum Network of membranes studded with ribosomes; plays a role in protein synthesis Chloroplast The location of photosynthesis in plants and some protists Central vacuole A large, fluid-filled sac for storing water and metabolites in plants Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Network of membranes that is the site of lipid synthesis and detoxification
