Molecular Machines That Perform Specific Functions for the Cell Are

Question

Molecular machines that perform specific functions for the cell are:
A)the plasma membrane.
B)cytosol.
C)the cytoskeleton.
D)organelles.

Accepted Answer

Organelles are cellular structures that perform specific functions for the cell, such as energy production (mitochondria), protein synthesis (ribosomes), and storage and modification of molecules (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus). These organelles can be thought of as molecular machines that carry out necessary processes for the cell. The other options listed are not specific structures that carry out specific functions in the same way that organelles do.
