Cell Organelle Identification

Front

What is the function of the Golgi Body?

Back

The Golgi Body modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)?

Back

The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is a type of endoplasmic reticulum that has ribosomes on its surface, involved in protein synthesis and processing.

Front

What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)?

Back

The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in lipid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium ion storage, and does not have ribosomes.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, where amino acids are assembled into proteins.

Front

What is the function of the Nucleus?

Back

The Nucleus houses the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities by regulating gene expression.

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within a cell that contains organelles and is the site of many metabolic processes.

Front

What are lysosomes?

Back

Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What are mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
