What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Front

Which organelle is involved in cell division and is found only in animal cells?

Back

Centrioles are involved in cell division and are unique to animal cells.

Front

What is the role of a vacuole in a cell?

Back

Vacuoles store waste, water, and nutrients within the cell.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while Smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
