TOPIC 7 DAY 4 - CELL STRUCTURES AND FUNCTION

Front

What organelle is responsible for converting solar energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose?

Back

Chloroplasts

Front

What are the hair-like structures used for movement in some cells called?

Back

Cilia

Front

Which organelles consist of membranous tubes and sacs and are part of the cell's packaging and transport system?

Back

Golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum

Front

What happens to protein production in a cell if the rough endoplasmic reticulum loses all of its ribosomes?

Back

Protein production in the organism would stop.

Front

What is the consequence of damaged lysosomes in a cell?

Back

The cell would be less able to break down molecules in its cytoplasm.

Front

What is the primary function of the Golgi apparatus in a cell?

Back

To modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the difference between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

Smooth ER has no ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis, while rough ER has ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis.

Front

What role do ribosomes play in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

How do chloroplasts contribute to the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
