What is the function of a lysosome in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes help clean up the cell, break down food, and break down the cell when it is dead. They are also considered enzymes.

Front

What is the role of the plasma membrane in a cell?

Front

What is the genetic material found inside cells?

Back

DNA is the genetic material that is found inside cells.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes in a cell?

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Front

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

Back

The cell wall provides structure and protection to plant cells.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus houses the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities.

Front

What are chloroplasts and their function?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
