Back

Cytoplasm is the gel-like substance that fills the cell, providing a medium for chemical reactions and supporting organelles.

Front

What is the Golgi Body and what is its function?

Back

The Golgi Body, or Golgi Apparatus, is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the function of the vacuole in a plant cell?

Back

The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure within the cell.

Front

How do plant cells differ from animal cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of the cell membrane in a plant cell?

Back

The cell membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in plant cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
