Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, providing protection and support.
