Cell Organelles and Function pictures REVIEW

Front

What is the process in which plants capture the energy in sunlight and use it to make food?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

Where are proteins made in the cell?

Back

Proteins are made in the ribosomes, which are the cell's protein factories.

Front

What process do mitochondria primarily facilitate?

Back

Mitochondria primarily facilitate ATP production, which is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

Which characteristic of living things is represented by growth and development?

Back

Growth and development is a characteristic of living things that indicates they change and mature over time.

Front

What part of the cell directs all activities through the DNA located there?

Back

The nucleus directs all cell activities and contains the cell's DNA.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating messenger RNA.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

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