Are these correct?

A. harvests energy from organic compounds= mitochondria
B. makes proteins in both types of cells= ribosomes
C. uses light energy to make food= chloroplasts
D. outer support for plant cells= cell wall
E. gives shape and protection to animals= cell membrane
F. stores water and other substances in plant cells= central vacuole

Thanks

Your F answer is not exactly the function of central vacuole

So then which ones am I wrong on?

all ok except F makes me nauseous. It might be the answer the teacher wants, but...

Yes, your answers are correct!

A. Harvests energy from organic compounds = mitochondria

To arrive at this answer, you would need to know that mitochondria are the organelles responsible for cellular respiration, a process that converts energy from organic compounds (such as glucose) into a usable form of energy called ATP.

B. Makes proteins in both types of cells = ribosomes

To answer this question, you would need to be familiar with the function of ribosomes. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, which occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

C. Uses light energy to make food = chloroplasts

This answer requires an understanding of chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are specialized organelles found in plant cells that contain pigments (such as chlorophyll) used in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy (glucose) used as food by the plant.

D. Outer support for plant cells = cell wall

To determine this answer, you need to be aware of the cell wall's function. The cell wall is a rigid, outer layer that provides structural support and protection for plant cells. Animal cells do not have a cell wall.

E. Gives shape and protection to animals = cell membrane

In this case, you would need to know that the cell membrane is responsible for maintaining the cell's shape and providing a protective barrier. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell and is found in both plant and animal cells.

F. Stores water and other substances in plant cells = central vacuole

To arrive at this answer, you would need to know about the central vacuole, which is a large, fluid-filled organelle found in plant cells. It is responsible for storing water, ions, nutrients, and waste materials. Animal cells may have smaller, multiple vacuoles or lack them altogether.
