Cell Organelle Functions

Front

What is the function of the cytoskeleton in a cell?

Back

The cytoskeleton provides structural support, facilitates movement, and enables communication within the cell.

Front

What organelle is responsible for maintaining the cell's shape and structure?

Back

The cytoskeleton is a network of filaments that maintains the cell's shape and structure.

Front

What provides strength and support to plant cells?

Back

The cell wall provides strength, structure, and support to plant cells.

Front

Which organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell?

Back

The mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce energy.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell.

Front

What is the primary function of vacuoles in plant cells?

Back

Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

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 is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.
