Functions of Cell Organelles

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

• Storage of carbs and water for later use

• Production of energy through photosynthesis

• Synthesis of proteins

• Regulation of cell division

What is the function of the cell wall in prokaryotic and some eukaryotic cells?

• Provides energy for cellular processes

• Facilitates cell division

• Provides structural support and protection, and is found in plants and fungi

• Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell

What is the function of the cytoplasm in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• The cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid that holds organelles in place, facilitating cellular processes.

• The cytoplasm is responsible for DNA replication and transcription.

• The cytoplasm acts as a barrier to protect the cell from external damage.

• The cytoplasm is involved in energy production through cellular respiration.

What is the function of the Centrioles in eukaryotic cells?

• They synthesize proteins for the cell.

• They make and control microtubules which help with cell division by pulling apart the chromatids.

• They store genetic information in the nucleus.

• They provide energy to the cell through ATP production.

How do lysosomes function in eukaryotic cells?

• Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.

• Lysosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

• Lysosomes help in the production of ATP for energy.

• Lysosomes store genetic information for the cell.

What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells?

• Synthesis of proteins and lipids

• Energy production

• DNA replication

• Cell division

What role do chloroplasts play in eukaryotic cells?

• Involved in photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in plant cells.

• Responsible for cellular respiration in animal cells.

• Synthesizing proteins for cell structure and function.

• Regulating the cell cycle and division.

How do mitochondria function in eukaryotic cells?

• Mitochondria use glucose to generate ATP through cellular respiration.

• Mitochondria store genetic information for the cell.

• Mitochondria are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

• Mitochondria help in the detoxification of harmful substances.

What is the role of ribosomes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Energy production

• Cell division

• Protein synthesis

• DNA replication

What is the function of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?

• To produce energy for the cell

• To house the cell's DNA and regulate gene expression and cell division

• To synthesize proteins for the cell

• To transport materials within the cell
