What is a cell membrane and its function?

Back

A cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates and protects the interior of all cells from the outside environment. It regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What organelle is responsible for energy production in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for producing energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

What is cytoplasm and what is its role in a cell?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within a cell that contains organelles and is the site for many metabolic processes.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles that contain chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy.

Front

What pigment is found in chloroplasts and what is its role?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in chloroplasts that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the main differences between plant and animal cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the cell wall in plant cells?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells, maintaining their shape.

Front

How do mitochondria and chloroplasts differ in function?

Back

Mitochondria are involved in energy production through respiration, while chloroplasts are involved in energy capture through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of vacuoles in plant cells?

Back

Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.
