Cell Functions

What are ribosomes?

• Cell structures that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA.

• Organelles responsible for energy production in cells.

• Components of the cell membrane that regulate transport.

• Structures that store genetic information in the nucleus.

I store water in both plant and animal cells. What am I?

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

What is the 'Brain' of the cell?

• Nucleus: The control center of the cell that contains genetic material and regulates cell activities.

• Mitochondria: The powerhouse of the cell that produces energy.

• Ribosome: The site of protein synthesis in the cell.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum: The network involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

What is the 'powerhouse' of the cell?

• Nucleus: The control center of the cell that contains genetic material.

• Mitochondrion: An organelle that produces energy for the cell through cellular respiration.

• Ribosome: The site of protein synthesis in the cell.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum: A network involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

What is the function of chloroplasts?

• Organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis.

• Structures that provide support to plant cells.

• Organelles responsible for cellular respiration.

• Components that store genetic information.

What does the cell wall do?

• Provides structure and support for the plant cell.

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

• Stores genetic information for the cell.

• Produces energy for the cell.

What is the function of the vacuole?

• Sac that stores water, nutrients, and waste products.

• Site of protein synthesis in the cell.

• Organelle responsible for energy production.

• Structure that provides support and protection to the cell.

What is the function of the nucleus?

• Produces energy for the cell.

• Controls cell activities and contains the cell's genetic material.

• Transports nutrients across the cell membrane.

• Synthesizes proteins for the cell.

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum?

• A network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

• A structure that provides energy to the cell.

• A part of the cell responsible for DNA replication.

• A barrier that protects the cell from external damage.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• Controls what enters and leaves the cell.

• Provides structural support to the cell.

• Stores genetic information.

• Produces energy for the cell.
