Cell Structure and Function Quiz

What is the main function of cells in organisms?

Maintaining the shape of the organism

Producing energy for the organism

Serving as the basic living unit of structure and function (correct)

Regulating temperature in the organism

How does cell size affect the ability to get materials in and out of a cell?

Cells with more irregular shapes are less efficient in material exchange

Smaller cell size decreases the surface area available for material exchange (correct)

Larger cell size increases the efficiency of material exchange

Cell size has no impact on material exchange

Why is being small an advantage for cells in multicellular organisms?

Large cells have a longer lifespan

Small cells have high energy production capabilities

Large cells are more resistant to diseases

Small cells can efficiently exchange nutrients and wastes (correct)
