What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles that trap light energy and convert it into food energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What organelles contain enzymes for digestion within the cell?

Back

Lysosomes are organelles filled with enzymes that aid in digestion by breaking down food, wastes, and old organelles.

Front

What are vacuoles?

Back

Vacuoles are organelles that store food, water, and waste material in the cell.

Front

What is the role of the cell wall in plant cells?

Back

The cell wall surrounds plant cells, providing an extra layer of protection and support.

Front

What are prokaryotes?

Back

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What are eukaryotes?

Back

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

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 function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

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