Cell Organelles and Their Functions

The video uses a factory analogy to explain cell structure and function. It covers the cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, vacuoles, lysosomes, and cytoplasm, highlighting their roles in cell operation and maintenance.

What is the basic unit of life that can be compared to a factory?

• Atom

• Molecule

• Cell

• Tissue

What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

• To enclose and protect the cell

• To control cell activities

• To produce energy

• To synthesize proteins

Which organelle is considered the 'brain' of the cell?

• Golgi apparatus

• Mitochondrion

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

What is the main role of mitochondria in the cell?

• To produce energy

• To synthesize proteins

• To transport materials

• To store nutrients

Ribosomes are primarily involved in which cellular process?

• Waste disposal

• Lipid synthesis

• Protein synthesis

• Energy production

What distinguishes rough endoplasmic reticulum from smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

• Presence of ribosomes

• Production of energy

• Transport of lipids

• Storage of waste

Which organelle is responsible for packaging and sorting cell products?

• Nucleus

• Lysosome

• Vacuole

• Golgi apparatus

What is the primary function of vacuoles in a cell?
