What does the Golgi Apparatus do in a cell?

Back

The Golgi Apparatus receives proteins and other materials from the ER, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.

Front

What is tissue?

Back

A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

Front

What is the cell wall?

Back

A rigid layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms, providing structure and support.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell, providing protection and support.

Front

What are organelles?

Back

Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions, such as energy production or protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Back

The ER is a network of membranes involved in the production and transport of proteins and lipids.

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing DNA and regulating cell activities.
