What is the function of the Nucleolus in a cell?

Back

The Nucleolus is responsible for making ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis.

Front

Why is the Mitochondria known as the 'powerhouse' of the cell?

Back

The Mitochondria is known as the 'powerhouse' of the cell because it is where energy (ATP) is created through cellular respiration.

Front

What role does the Endoplasmic Reticulum play in a cell?

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum transports proteins and lipids throughout the cell.

Front

What is the primary function of Chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts manufacture food through the process of photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy.

Front

What provides structure and support to plant cells?

Back

The Cell wall provides structure and support to plant cells, maintaining their shape.

Front

What is the main difference between plant and animal cells regarding cell structure?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the role of the Plasma Membrane in a cell?

Back

The Plasma Membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the function of Ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, translating messenger RNA into proteins.

Front

What is the function 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 role of Lysosomes in a cell?

Back

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