What is the function of the vacuole in plant cells?

Back

The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins.

Front

What process occurs in chloroplasts?

Back

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.

Front

Do animal cells have a cell wall?

Back

No, animal cells do not have a cell wall; they have a flexible cell membrane.

Front

What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?

Back

The ER is an organelle that helps in the synthesis of proteins and lipids; it can be rough (with ribosomes) or smooth (without ribosomes).

Front

What is the role of the Golgi Apparatus?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells regarding chloroplasts?

Back

Plant cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the organelle that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is a protective barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell.
