What is the function of a Ribosome?

Back

Ribosomes are organelles that synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.

Front

What organelle converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that convert light energy into glucose through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of the Cell Wall in plant cells?

Back

The cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells, helping them maintain their shape.

Front

Are plant and animal cells identical?

Back

False. Plant and animal cells have different structures and organelles, such as cell walls in plants and lysosomes in animals.

Front

Where is DNA stored in a cell?

Back

DNA is stored in the nucleus of a cell.

Front

What is the function of the Nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the cell's genetic material (DNA) and regulating gene expression.

Front

What is the function of the Mitochondria?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?

Back

The ER is involved in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER), and it also helps in the transport of materials within the cell.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi Complex?

Back

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

Front

What are Lysosomes?

Back

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