Front

Which organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell, creating energy?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What process do mitochondria use to break down glucose and make energy in the form of ATP?

Back

Cellular respiration

Front

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

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

Which organelle is found only in plant cells and is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

What is the primary function of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that digest waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, which is used as energy by the cell.

Front

What are the main components of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is primarily composed of a phospholipid bilayer, proteins, cholesterol, and carbohydrates.

Front

How do chloroplasts contribute to the energy needs of a plant cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms.
