What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they produce energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi body in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary function of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to the cell, and it helps maintain cell shape.

Front

What is the function of rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER)?

Back

Rough ER is involved in the synthesis of proteins that are either secreted from the cell or incorporated into the cell's plasma membrane.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, where they translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.

Front

What is a vacuole and its function?

Back

A vacuole is a storage organelle that can hold various substances, including nutrients, waste products, and water.

Front

What is the difference between smooth ER and rough ER?

Back

Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification, while rough ER has ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

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

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.
