What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What organelle contains the cell's genetic material?

Back

The nucleus holds the DNA, which contains the instructions for the cell's functions.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes?

Back

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles.

Front

What is the function of vacuoles in cells?

Back

Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

Which organelle is involved in the synthesis of lipids?

Back

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is involved in lipid synthesis.

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.
