Cell Function

Front

What type of cell is a prokaryote made up of?

Back

A prokaryote is made up of a single prokaryotic cell.

Front

What is the rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane?

Back

The rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane is called the cell wall.

Front

What performs most actions of a cell?

Back

Proteins perform most actions of a cell.

Front

What organelles contain digestive enzymes to break down worn-out organelles and waste materials?

Back

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down worn-out or damaged organelles, waste materials, and foreign invaders in the cell.

Front

In which organelle does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria, also known as the 'powerhouse of cells'.

Front

What is the primary function of the cell wall?

Back

The primary function of the cell wall is to provide structural support and protection to the cell.

Front

What are the main components of a prokaryotic cell?

Back

The main components of a prokaryotic cell include the cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and genetic material (DNA).

Front

How do lysosomes contribute to cellular health?

Back

Lysosomes contribute to cellular health by breaking down waste materials and damaged organelles, recycling their components.

Front

What is the role of proteins in a cell?

Back

Proteins play various roles in a cell, including acting as enzymes, structural components, and signaling molecules.

Front

What is the significance of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are significant because they generate ATP through cellular respiration, providing energy for cellular processes.
