What is the primary function of the cell membrane in animal cells?

Back

The cell membrane serves as the outermost boundary, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

How does the cell membrane differ in function between plant and animal cells?

Back

In animal cells, the cell membrane is the outermost boundary, while in plant cells, it lies just inside the cell wall.

Front

What organelle is responsible for energy production in cells, particularly in heart cells?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy for the cell.

Front

What role does the cell wall play in plant cells?

Back
