A laboratory technician considers what would happen if different sub-cellular structures in a mammalian kidney cell stopped functioning.
| Row | Sub-cellular structure | Predicted effect |
|---|---|---|
| W | Nucleus | Substances would no longer be controlled as they enter and leave the cell. |
| X | Ribosomes | The cell would no longer make proteins. |
| Y | Mitochondria | Most of the cell's chemical reactions would stop. |
| Z | Cell membrane | Aerobic respiration would stop. |
Which row identifies the loss of a function carried out directly by the named structure?
Row W
Row Y
Row X
Row Z
