Front

What is the function of DNA in a cell?

Back

DNA contains the instructions for cell functions and is responsible for the storage and transmission of genetic information.

Front

What is the outer layer that supports and protects plant cells?

Back

Cell Wall.

Front

What organelle is referred to as the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum is a network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the function of a vacuole in a cell?

Back

A vacuole stores water, nutrients, and waste products in the cell.

Front

What is the role of the Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane)?

Back

The Cell Membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell and provides protection and support.

Front

What organelle is responsible for energy production in the cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptides.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
