Prokaryotic cells are characterized by the absence of a nucleus.

Front

What is the role of vacuoles in a cell?

Back

Vacuoles store materials such as water, nutrients, and waste products.

Front

What distinguishes prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both.

Back

Mitochondria are involved in energy production in eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in a cell.

Front

How do plant cells differ from animal cells in terms of structure?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
