Cell Structure and Function parts

Front

What is the function of the Golgi complex?

Back

The Golgi complex packages and distributes materials such as proteins for the cell.

Front

What is the cell wall?

Back

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

Front

What is the chloroplast?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell, controlling the movement of substances in and out.

Front

What is 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 are lysosomes?

Back

Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes for digestion and waste removal in the cell.

Front

What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

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 lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) and regulating cell activities.
