Electron Micrograph cell identification

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What distinguishes eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic cells?

Back

Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.

Front

What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum in a cell?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins and lipids, and is involved in the transport of these molecules within the cell.

Front

What provides structural support to plant cells?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and rigidity to plant cells.

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

Back

The primary function of mitochondria is to generate ATP through the process of cellular respiration.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

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

Front

What is the cytoskeleton?

Back

The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers that provides structural support, helps maintain cell shape, and aids in cell movement.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
