Front

What do Mitochondria produce?

Back

Mitochondria produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration.

Front

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

Back

Animal cells have smaller vacuoles, while plant cells have a large central vacuole that helps maintain structure.

Front

What is the function of the Cell Membrane?

Back

The Cell Membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What is the significance of the Nucleus in cell division?

Back

The Nucleus is crucial in cell division as it ensures that genetic material is accurately copied and distributed.

Front

What is the structure of Mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria have a double membrane structure, with an inner membrane folded into cristae to increase surface area for energy production.
