Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.

Front

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

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids, and it also plays a role in detoxifying certain chemicals.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP.

Front

What are enzymes and what is their function?

Back

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body by lowering the activation energy required.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
