- Below is a three-dimensional diagram of the cell. Provide the name and function of
the following numbered structures:
The following difficult to distinguish structures have been done for you:
- 4-vesicle: spherical sacs that facilitate storage, metabolism and transport of
molecules. - 7-cell membrane:selectively permeable to control the passage of substances into
and out of the cell. - 10-vacuole:storage of sugars, minerals and pigments and help maintain water
balance in the cell. - 12-lysosome:contain powerful digestive enzymes that digest damaged cell struc-
tures and food molecules.
