Front

What is a plant cell?

Back

A plant cell is a type of cell that is found in plants. It has a rigid cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole.

What is an animal cell?

Back

An animal cell is a type of cell that is found in animals. It does not have a cell wall or chloroplasts, and it usually has smaller vacuoles compared to plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides structure and support to the plant cell, helping it maintain its shape.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are the parts of plant cells that convert sunlight into food through the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the function of the vacuole in a plant cell?

Back

The vacuole stores food, water, and waste products in a plant cell.

Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is a protective layer that controls what enters and exits the cell, acting like a door.

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance inside a cell where organelles are located and where many cellular processes occur.

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell that contains genetic material (DNA) and regulates cell activities.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make their own food.

Front

What are organelles?

Back

Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions, such as energy production and waste processing.
