Biology Flashcard

Front

What is the function of the cytoplasm in a cell?

Back

The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance within the cell membrane that contains organelles and is the site for many metabolic processes.

Front

What are lysosomes and what is their role in the cell?

Back

Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes responsible for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What organelle is present in plant cells but not in animal cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are present in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis.

Front

Name the four major body systems involved in exercise.

Back

The skeletal system, muscular system, circulatory system, and nervous system.

Front

What type of cell is most likely to be taken from a tree?

Back

Plant cells, which contain cell walls and chloroplasts.

Front

What is the primary role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for converting sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Front

How do lysosomes contribute to cellular health?

Back

Lysosomes help maintain cellular health by digesting and recycling cellular waste and damaged organelles.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells regarding organelles?

Back

Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the function of the nervous system during exercise?

Back

The nervous system coordinates muscle movements and responses to stimuli during exercise.

Front

What is the significance of the skeletal system in physical activity?

Back

The skeletal system provides structure, support, and protection for the body, and works with the muscular system to facilitate movement.
