Back

The cell wall provides structure and protection to plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the vacuole?

Back

The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Back

The ER is a network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that digest waste materials and cellular debris.
