  • Q1

    How does compartmentalisation by their internal membranes benefit eukaryotic cells?

    The membranes help to keep the shape of the cell.

    The membranes allow movement of the cytoplasm.

    The membranes can form organelles.

    The membranes increase the concentration of reactants in some organelles.
