Front

What are organelles?

Back

Organelles are structures within a cell that serve specific functions, often referred to as 'little organs.'

Front

What is homeostasis?

Back

Homeostasis is the process by which a cell maintains a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.

Front

What type of cells do viruses replicate in?

Back

Front

What is the purpose of vaccines?

Back

Vaccines are used to prevent viral infections by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight off viruses.

Front

Do viruses have a nucleus?

Back

No, viruses do not have a nucleus or other organelles.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell and helps maintain homeostasis.

Front

What are prokaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are simple, single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What are eukaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells are complex cells that contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What is the role of antibiotics?

Back

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, not viral infections.

Front

What are interferons?

Back

Interferons are proteins produced by cells in response to viral infections that help to inhibit viral replication.
