Cell Organelles Labelling Flashcard

Front

What is the function of the cytoplasm in a cell?

Back

The cytoplasm is the fluid inside the cell that surrounds the organelles and helps maintain the cell's shape.

Front

What distinguishes a plant cell from an animal cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells.

Front

What is the central vacuole's function in plant cells?

Back

The central vacuole stores nutrients and waste products and helps maintain turgor pressure.

Front

What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes involved in the transportation of materials within the cell.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, generating energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is a protective barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell.
