7.1-7.2 Cell organelles and functions

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes build proteins for cell functions.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts convert the sun's energy to food for the cell.

Front

What do mitochondria and chloroplasts have in common?

Back

They both contain their own DNA and are involved in energy conversion.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for water storage in plant cells?

Back

The vacuole is responsible for water storage.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi body?

Back

The Golgi body receives, packages, and distributes proteins.

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

How do chloroplasts contribute to photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the significance of DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts?

Back

The presence of DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts suggests they were once independent prokaryotic organisms.

Front

What is the structure of a vacuole?

Back

A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that stores substances such as water, nutrients, and waste.

Front

How does the Golgi body modify proteins?

Back

The Golgi body modifies proteins by adding carbohydrates or lipids and then sorts them for distribution.
