What is the function of Mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouse' of the cell, as they generate energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of Chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles where photosynthesis takes place, allowing plants to convert sunlight into energy.

Front

What is the Cell Wall?

Back

The Cell Wall is a rigid outer layer found in plant cells that provides structure and support.

Front

What is Cytoplasm?

Back

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

Front

What are Ribosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is involved in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER), and it also helps in transporting materials within the cell.

Front

What is the Golgi Apparatus?

Back

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