Practise MYP Biology questions on 1.2 Cell Functions and review the explanations to check your understanding.
Use these questions for topic practice and to find ideas you want to revisit in your notes or lessons.
Which component of the cell is primarily an aqueous solution containing dissolved nutrients and enzymes where metabolic reactions occur?
True or False: Once a cell has undergone differentiation to become a specialized cell type, most can no longer revert to being stem cells.
Ribosomes act as assembly lines for the cell. What specific raw materials do they use to build their products?
In the cooperation between organelles, what is the specific role of the nucleus in the process of making a protein?
