Cells and Cell Organelles

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts capture energy from sunlight to produce food (glucose) through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary component of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane is primarily composed of a phospholipid bilayer that regulates what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What type of cells are prokaryotic?

Back

Prokaryotic cells are simple, unicellular organisms without a nucleus, such as bacteria.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles.

Front

What organelle is responsible for energy production in both plant and animal cells?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of the vacuole in plant cells?

Back

The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

Front

What structure provides support and protection to plant cells?

Back

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

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

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