Plant Cells

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane in plant cells?

Back

The cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell.

Front

What organelle is responsible for protein synthesis in plant cells?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for making proteins for the cell.

Front

What is the role of cytoplasm in a plant cell?

Back

Cytoplasm houses gel-like fluids that support cell organelles and holds them in place.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria in plant cells?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouse' of the cell; they break down food to make energy for the cell.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell wall in plant cells?

Back

The cell wall surrounds the plant cell and maintains its shape and structure.

Front

What is the primary component of the cell membrane?

Back

The primary component of the cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer.

Front

How do ribosomes differ in structure and function from other organelles?

Back

Ribosomes are not membrane-bound and are responsible for translating mRNA into proteins.

Front

What is the significance of the cytoplasm in cellular processes?

Back

Cytoplasm is the site of many metabolic reactions and provides a medium for organelles to function.

Front

What process occurs in mitochondria to produce energy?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What materials can pass through the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane selectively allows certain materials, such as water, oxygen, and nutrients, to pass through.
