Back

Vacuole

Front

Which organelle controls what goes in and out of plant and animal cells?

Back

Cell Membrane

Front

What organelles convert the energy in food molecules to a form the cell can use?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is the rigid outer layer that protects plant cells?

Back

Cell Wall

Front

What is the function of the cytoplasm?

Back

The cytoplasm is the fluid that fills the cell and holds organelles, providing a medium for biochemical reactions.

Front

What is the role of the vacuole in a cell?

Back

The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

Back

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

Front

What is the main function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, converting food into usable energy (ATP).

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells regarding cell walls?

Back

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall for protection and structure, while animal cells do not have a cell wall.
