Cell Parts and Functions Practice Test

Refer to the cell model: the cell membrane is shown as a boundary with gate icons; arrows show nutrients entering and wastes leaving. The nucleus is shown as a separate inner part with an “instructions” icon. The cytoplasm is shown as the inside space where materials move. The model highlights that each structure supports its function.

What would most likely happen if the cell membrane became much less able to act like a boundary (for example, it developed many large tears), based on the model?

Refer to the cell model: the nucleus is shown as a separate compartment with an “instructions” icon and arrows pointing from it to the cytoplasm. The cell membrane is shown as a boundary with gate icons. The cytoplasm is shown as the space where materials move and activities happen. The model shows that each part supports cell function.

Which claim about the nucleus is incorrect based on the model?
