Cell Structure and Function Review

Front

What is the function of the chloroplast?

Back

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

Front

What organelle is responsible for energy production in cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the cell theory?

Back

The cell theory states that all living organisms are composed of cells, and all cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Front

What structure is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus acts as the control center of the cell, housing the cell's DNA and coordinating activities such as growth and reproduction.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within a cell that contains organelles and is the site of many metabolic processes.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi complex?

Back

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