Cell Types and Organelles

Front

What is the pathway into the structure that stores genetic material?

Back

Nuclear pores allow the transport of molecules in and out of the nucleus, which stores genetic material.

Front

Which structure is NOT found in all cells?

Back

Vacuole is not found in all cells; it is typically found in plant cells.

Front

What type of cell is characterized by the absence of a nucleus?

Back

Prokaryote cells do not have a nucleus and are generally simpler in structure.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi Body?

Back

The Golgi Body modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

How can you identify a plant cell from an animal cell?

Back

A plant cell typically has a cell wall and large central vacuoles, while an animal cell has lysosomes.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is the role of the cytoskeleton?

Back

The cytoskeleton provides structural support, helps maintain cell shape, and facilitates cell movement.

Front

What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, providing protection and support.
