Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

To digest and break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and synthesizes proteins; smooth ER does not have ribosomes and synthesizes lipids.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

To protect the cell and regulate what enters and exits.
