Cell Parts and Functions

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for powering the cell by producing energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What role do Golgi bodies play in a cell?

Back

Golgi bodies package and move materials around the cell, similar to a shipping service.

Front

What is the primary function of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall protects and provides support for the cell.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins.

Front

What is the structure that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus serves as the control center of the cell, housing the cell's DNA.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is the purpose of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth ER?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.
