What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?
To transport nutrients within the cell
The function of ribosomes in a cell is to synthesize proteins.
To store genetic information
To generate energy for cellular processes
Describe the role of the endoplasmic reticulum.
The endoplasmic reticulum generates energy for the cell.
The endoplasmic reticulum acts as the cell's waste disposal system.
The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins and lipids, and transports materials within the cell.
The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for DNA replication.
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?
To produce energy for the cell
To synthesize DNA and RNA
The function of the Golgi apparatus is to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
To store waste products and toxins
Which part of the cell contains genetic material?
Ribosomes
Mitochondria
Endoplasmic reticulum
Nucleus (in eukaryotic cells) or nucleoid (in prokaryotic cells)
What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells can be multicellular; eukaryotic cells are unicellular.
Eukaryotic cells are always smaller than prokaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus; eukaryotic cells do not.
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles; eukaryotic cells do.
What is the function of lysosomes in a cell?
The function of lysosomes in a cell is to digest and break down waste materials and cellular debris.
To synthesize proteins
To store genetic information
To produce energy for the cell
