Back

A prokaryote is a type of cell that does not have a nucleus. Examples include bacteria.

Front

Which cells contain the most organelles?

Back

Plant and animal cells contain the most organelles compared to prokaryotic cells.

Front

What is the function of a vacuole in plant cells?

Back

The vacuole is a large storage organelle that holds water, nutrients, and waste products, and is larger than the nucleus in plant cells.

Front

What organelles are found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, which are not found in animal cells.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, translating genetic information into proteins.

Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

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