What is the powerhouse of the cell?

Back

Mitochondrion - It is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of the cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm - It is the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds organelles in place.

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplast - Captures energy from sunlight to produce food (glucose) through photosynthesis.

Nucleus - It serves as the control center of the cell, housing DNA and coordinating activities like growth and reproduction.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes - They are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

Cell Membrane - It regulates what enters and exits the cell, providing protection and support.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the cell wall in plant cells?

Back

Cell Wall - It provides structure and protection to the plant cell, made of cellulose.

Front

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

Back

Endoplasmic Reticulum - It is involved in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER).

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

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