What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the function of the nucleolus?

Back

The nucleolus is responsible for producing ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells regarding organelles?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating messenger RNA.

Front

What is the significance of the nucleus in a cell?

Back
