Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is the primary function of the cell wall in plant cells?

Back

To provide structure and support to the cell.

Front

What is the main difference between plant and animal cells regarding energy production?

Back

Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells rely solely on mitochondria.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA.

Front

How do chloroplasts contribute to the energy needs of plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the significance of mitochondria in both plant and animal cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
