functions of organelles
organelle | function
chloroplast | stores water and waste materials
cell wall | supports cell membrane, maintains cell shape, and protects cell
cell membrane | breaks down waste materials and debris
vacuole | produces proteins for the cell

which organelle in the table is correctly matched with its function?
○ chloroplast
○ cell wall
○ cell membrane
○ vacuole

Explanation:

• Chloroplast: Its function is photosynthesis, not storing water/waste. Eliminate.
• Cell wall: It supports the cell membrane, maintains shape, and protects the cell. This matches.
• Cell membrane: Its function is regulating substance entry/exit, not breaking down waste. Eliminate.
• Vacuole: Stores substances (water, waste, etc.), not producing proteins. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. cell wall
