Exploring Cell Organelles and Their Functions

This video provides a review of the structure and function of key organelles in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, highlighting the differences between plant and animal cells. It covers the main organelles such as the nucleus, plasma membrane, mitochondria, vacuoles, chloroplasts, and ribosomes, explaining their functions and how to recognize them. The video also compares eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, discussing their features and differences.

What are organelles?

• Structures within cells with specialized functions

• Types of cells

• Proteins in the cell

• Parts of the cell membrane

Which organelle is known as the control center of the cell?

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Chloroplast

What is the function of the plasma membrane?

• Producing proteins

• Site of photosynthesis

• Providing a semi-permeable barrier

• Storage of water

Which organelle is only found in plant cells?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosome

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

What is a key difference between plant and animal cells?

• Animal cells have a cell wall, plant cells do not

• Plant cells have multiple small vacuoles, animal cells have one large vacuole

• Animal cells have chloroplasts, plant cells do not

• Plant cells have a cell wall, animal cells do not

What is the main function of mitochondria?

• Photosynthesis

• Production of cellular energy

• Synthesis of proteins

• Storage of genetic information

Which organelle is responsible for protein synthesis?

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

What is the primary function of the cell wall?

• Protein synthesis

• Storing genetic information

• Providing structure and support

• Energy production

What is a characteristic feature of prokaryotic cells?

• Presence of a nucleus

• Lack of membrane-bound organelles

• Larger and more complex

• Presence of membrane-bound organelles

Which of the following is true about eukaryotic cells?

• They lack a nucleus
