What is the role of Lysosomes in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus?

Back

What is the role of the Mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they produce energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER), and it also helps in detoxification.

Front

What is the function of Ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, where amino acids are assembled into proteins.

Front

What is the role of the Nucleolus?

Back

The Nucleolus is responsible for producing ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assembling ribosomes.
