What is a eukaryotic plant cell?

Back

A eukaryotic plant cell is a type of cell that contains a nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, and organelles such as lysosomes and chloroplasts. It is characterized by its complex structure and is found in plants.

What is the primary function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell, translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.

Front

What macromolecule primarily makes up the cell membrane?

Back

Lipids primarily make up the cell membrane, forming a bilayer that provides structure and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What distinguishes prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus and organelles.

Front

What is the characteristic of autotrophic organisms?

Back

Autotrophic organisms can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall in plant cells?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells, maintaining their shape and preventing excessive water uptake.

Front

What role do lysosomes play in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, acting as the cell's waste disposal system.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration, providing energy for cellular activities.

Front

What is the significance of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

Back

The nucleus houses the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities by regulating gene expression.

Front

What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms?

Back

Unicellular organisms consist of a single cell, while multicellular organisms are made up of multiple cells that work together.
