What is the function of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall is a rigid, nonliving support structure made of cellulose that provides shape and protection to plant cells.

Front

What organelle is responsible for transporting proteins to the Golgi apparatus?

Back

The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) is responsible for taking proteins and moving them to the Golgi apparatus.

Front

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down worn-out parts of the cell.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, providing protection and support.
