What is the function of a chloroplast?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER)?

Back

The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is an organelle involved in the synthesis of lipids and detoxification of certain chemicals.

Front

What is the central vacuole?

Back

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins.

Front

What is the role of the Endoplasmic Reticulum?

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum is responsible for the synthesis of proteins and lipids, and it plays a role in transporting materials within the cell.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus?

Back

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

Front

What is a cell wall?

Back

The cell wall is a rigid outer layer found in plant cells that provides structure and protection.

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the organelle that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities.

Front

What are ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are small organelles that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
