Which one controls all the metabolic work of the cell?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Plastid
  2. b Nucleus
  3. c Mitochondrion
  4. d Golgi body
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b Nucleus

The nucleus controls all the reactions of the cell, including metabolic work.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Plastid: The plastid makes food; metabolism is controlled by the nucleus.
  • c Mitochondrion: The mitochondrion supplies energy; it is not the controller of metabolism.
  • d Golgi body: The Golgi body is linked with secretion; metabolism is controlled by the nucleus.
