What is the function of the chloroplast?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the large cell vacuole?

Back

The large cell vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle in plant cells that stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure.

Front

What does cell theory state?

Back

Cell theory states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and living things come from other living cells.

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in the cell, translating messenger RNA into polypeptide chains.

Front

What is the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall is a rigid outer layer found in plant cells that provides structure and protection.
