Front

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

Back

The cell wall provides structure and support to the plant cell, helping it maintain its shape.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles that produce energy through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of the vacuole in plant cells?

Back

The vacuole helps maintain turgor pressure, which keeps the plant cell rigid.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What are organelles?

Back

Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and larger vacuoles, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is turgor pressure?

Back

Turgor pressure is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall, helping to maintain the cell's shape.

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the cell theory?

Back

The cell theory states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and all cells come from pre-existing cells.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.
