What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus.

What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP.

Front

In which type of cells are mitochondria particularly abundant and why?

Back

Mitochondria are very present in muscle cells to provide massive amounts of ATP for movement and exercise.

Front

What is the role of cytoplasm in a cell?

Back

Cytoplasm holds all the organelles in place within the cell.

Front

What organelle is responsible for energy production?

Back

Front

What is the structure that separates the interior of the cell from the external environment?

Back

The cell membrane separates the interior of the cell from the external environment.

Front

What is the primary function of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

Back

The nucleus houses the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus in a cell?

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
