Back

A structure in the cell consisting of flattened stacks of membranes that modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What organelle is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

Back

Front

What is the function of rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER)?

What are the domains that include organisms made up of prokaryotic cells?

Back

Bacteria and Archaebacteria.

Front

What is the primary function of the mitochondria?

Back

To produce energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between smooth ER and rough ER?

Back

Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis, while rough ER has ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

A protective barrier that surrounds the cell, controlling the movement of substances in and out.
