What is the function of the chloroplast in a cell?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membranes involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids. The rough ER has ribosomes on its surface, while the smooth ER does not.

Front

What distinguishes prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?

Back

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

Front

What are multicellular organisms?

Back

Multicellular organisms are made up of many cells that work together to perform various functions.

Front

What is the role of the mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall is a rigid outer layer found in plant cells, fungi, and bacteria that provides structure and protection.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in the cell, translating messenger RNA into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms?

Back

Unicellular organisms consist of a single cell, while multicellular organisms are composed of multiple cells.

Front

What is the Golgi apparatus?

Back

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

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

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