Cell Organelle Test

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins.

Front

What organelle contains enzymes for digestion?

Back

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

Front

How do mitochondria contribute to cellular function?

Back

Mitochondria generate energy for the cell by converting food molecules into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

The Golgi apparatus packages and modifies proteins and lipids before they are sent to their destination, either inside or outside the cell.

Front

What is the cell membrane's primary function?

Back

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

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within the cell membrane that contains organelles and is the site of many metabolic processes.

Front

What is the nucleus and its function?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing genetic material (DNA) and regulating gene expression.

Front

What is the vacuole's role in plant cells?

Back

Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the nucleolus?

Back

The nucleolus is responsible for producing ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assembling ribosomes.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

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