What is the function of the chloroplast?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the cell's genetic material (DNA) and regulating gene expression.

Front

What is the function of the vacuole?

Back

A vacuole is a sac that stores water, nutrients, and waste products in a cell.

Front

What is the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall is a rigid outer layer that provides structural support and protection to plant cells.

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.

Front

What is the cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within the plasma membrane that contains organelles and is the site of many cellular processes.

Front

What is the nucleolus?

Back

The nucleolus is a dense region within the nucleus where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is produced and ribosome assembly begins.
