What is the role of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)?

Back

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis and processing of proteins, as it is studded with ribosomes.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down biomolecules and waste materials in the cell.

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they generate energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
