Cell Organelles

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs, allowing plants to convert sunlight into energy.

Front

What is a vacuole?

Back

A vacuole is an organelle that stores water, nutrients, and waste products in both plant and animal cells.

Front

What is the role of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall is a rigid outer layer that provides protection and structure to plant cells.

Front

How does the cell wall contribute to plant cell structure?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support, helping maintain the shape and integrity of plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, acting as a selective barrier.

Front

What are organelles?

Back

Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform distinct functions necessary for the cell's life.

Front

What is the cytoplasm?

Back

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

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the organelle that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells regarding vacuoles?

Back

Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole for storage and maintaining turgor pressure, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll in chloroplasts.
