Front

What is the function of the Golgi body?

Back

The Golgi body packages and modifies proteins for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What controls what enters and leaves a cell?

Back

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

Front

What structure is responsible for housing the cell's genetic material?

Back

The nucleus is the structure that contains the cell's genetic material.

Front

What is the main producer of ATP in all eukaryotes?

Back

The mitochondria are the main producers of ATP in eukaryotic cells.

Front

What type of passive transport uses transport proteins to move substances like glucose across the membrane?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is the type of passive transport that uses transport proteins.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane acts as a barrier that regulates the entry and exit of substances.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

What is the difference between active and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

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