What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is a vacuole and its role in a cell?

Back

A vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle that stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What are ribosomes and their function?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi body?

Back

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

Front

What is the cell membrane?

Back

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within the cell membrane that contains organelles and is the site of many metabolic processes.

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 cell wall?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells, maintaining their shape.

Front

What is chloroplast and its role in plant cells?

Back

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