Question

select the correct answer.
which cell organelle’s function resembles the function of the brain in higher animals?
a. cytoplasm
b. golgi apparatus
c. nucleus
d. vacuole

Explanation:

• The brain in higher animals controls and regulates the body's activities.
• The nucleus of a cell controls and regulates the cell's activities (like growth, metabolism, and reproduction) by containing genetic material and directing cellular processes.
• Cytoplasm is the fluid where organelles are suspended and is involved in various chemical reactions, not control like the brain.
• The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids, not control.
• Vacuoles store substances (like water, nutrients, or waste) and maintain turgor pressure in plant cells, not control. So the nucleus functions similarly to the brain in controlling the cell.

Answer:

C. nucleus
