Front

What is the function of the ribosome?

Back

The ribosome is the site of protein production in the cell.

Front

What structure does this organism use for locomotion?

Back

Flagella are the structures used by some organisms for locomotion.

Front

What is the function of the chloroplast?

Back

The chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into energy.

Front

What is the function of the mitochondria?

Back

The mitochondria are the site of ATP (energy) production in the cell.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the materials that pass into and out of the cell.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the vacuole?

Back

The vacuole stores water and nutrients within the cell.

Front

What is the role of lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth ER?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.
