Cell Organelles and Function

Front

What is the function of the Nucleus in a cell?

Back

The Nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing DNA and regulating gene expression.

Front

What is the role of Ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized by translating messenger RNA (mRNA).

Front

What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)?

Back

The Rough ER is a type of endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes, involved in protein synthesis and processing.

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.

Front

What process occurs in the Mitochondria?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the Mitochondria, where glucose is converted into ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER)?

Back

The Smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium ion storage, and lacks ribosomes.

Front

What is the largest organelle in eukaryotic cells?

Back

The Nucleus is the largest organelle in eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is the function of Lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the Cell Membrane?

Back

The Cell Membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, providing protection and structural support.

Front

What is the function of Vacuoles?

Back

Vacuoles are storage organelles that hold various substances, including nutrients, waste products, and water.
