What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell. They produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

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

Back

The cell wall provides structure and support to plant cells, helping to maintain their shape and protect them from external stress.

Front

What is a lysosome?

Back

Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is the function of the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the cell's genetic material (DNA) and regulating gene expression.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy.

Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is a protective barrier that surrounds the cell, controlling the movement of substances in and out.

Front

What is the central vacuole?

Back

The central vacuole is a large organelle in plant cells that stores water, nutrients, and waste products, helping to maintain turgor pressure.

Front

What is the Golgi apparatus?

Back

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What type of cell has a cell wall?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not. Animal cells have centrioles, which are not found in plant cells.
