Back

DNA is located in the nucleus.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouse' of the cell because they break down food and convert it to energy.

What distinguishes rough ER from smooth ER?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface, while smooth ER does not.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

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

Front

What is the function of the Golgi complex?

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of the cell membrane?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the nucleolus?

Back

The nucleolus is responsible for producing ribosomes within the nucleus.
