What surrounds the cell membrane in a plant cell?

Back

The cell wall surrounds the cell membrane in a plant cell, providing structure and protection.

Front

What organelle converts food into energy in plant and animal cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles that convert food into energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What type of cell is characterized by a cell wall and chloroplasts?

Back

Plant cells are characterized by having a cell wall and chloroplasts.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the nucleus?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are the organelles that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA.

Front

What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle that helps in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER).
