What is the function of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides structure and protection to plant cells, helping to maintain their shape.

What organelle is responsible for energy production in both plant and animal cells?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for energy production in both plant and animal cells.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of the vacuole in plant cells?

Back

The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes in animal cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the smallest unit of life?

Back

The cell is the smallest unit of life that can carry out all life functions.

Front

What structures are found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

Back

Chloroplasts and a large central vacuole are found in plant cells but not in animal cells.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll in chloroplasts.
