Front

What organelle is involved in making and storing lipids?

Back

The smooth ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum) is responsible for lipid synthesis and storage.

Front

What is the function of the cytoplasm in a cell?

Back

The cytoplasm cushions the cell and provides a medium for chemical reactions.

Front

What is the role of the large vacuole in a plant cell?

Back

The large vacuole serves as a storage unit for water and helps maintain turgor pressure.

Front

What organelle delivers proteins to their final destination?

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for delivery.

Front

True or False: The Golgi apparatus is involved in lipid synthesis.

Back

False. The Golgi apparatus is primarily involved in protein processing and delivery.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

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