A. Bacteria
B. Archaea
C. Fungi
D. Protists
Question 8
The diagram below shows a plant cell with a large vacuole. What is the primary function of the vacuole?
A. To maintain the cell's turgor pressure
B. To store excess water and nutrients
C. To regulate the cell's pH
D. To synthesize proteins
Question 9
A diagram of a plant cell is shown below. What is the function of the cell wall?
A. To provide structural support to the cell
B. To regulate the movement of materials in and out of the cell
C. To synthesize proteins and other biomolecules
D. To store genetic information
Question 10
A patient is diagnosed with a genetic disorder that affects the production of a specific enzyme. The patient's enzyme activity is 20% of the normal level.
