Vesicles can bind to membranes, while vacuoles cannot.

Front

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

Back

Mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouse' of the cell because they produce energy in the form of ATP.

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the fluid inside a cell that surrounds the organelles and is where many cellular processes occur.

Front

What type of cell contains a large central vacuole?

Back

Plant cells typically contain a large central vacuole.

What is the function of the mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and large central vacuoles, while animal cells do not.

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.
