Cell Organelles Flashcard

Front

What are organisms that are made up of many cells called?

Back

Multicellular organisms are made up of multiple cells, which work together to perform various functions.

Front

True or False: All living organisms are made of cells.

Back

True. All living organisms, whether unicellular or multicellular, are composed of cells.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for breaking down excess or worn out cell parts?

Back

Lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that digest cellular waste and worn-out organelles.

Front

What two organelles are only found in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts and cell wall. Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis, and the cell wall provides structure and support.

Front

What organelle is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell'?

Back

Mitochondria. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids, and it also helps in the transport of materials within the cell.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi body in a cell?

Back

The Golgi body modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

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 difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms?

Back

Unicellular organisms consist of a single cell, while multicellular organisms are made up of multiple cells that work together.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, providing protection and support.
