Front

What is the function of the Golgi Complex?

Back

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

Front

What structures are unique to plant cells?

Back

Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts.

Front

What is the Central Vacuole?

Back

The Central Vacuole is a large, membrane-bound organelle in plant cells that stores water, nutrients, and waste products.

Front

What is the function of the Flagellum?

Back

The Flagellum is a whip-like structure that enables movement in some cells.

Front

What distinguishes prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have them.

Front

What is the role of Ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum?

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum synthesizes proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER) and transports them within the cell.

Front

What is the role of Lysosomes?

Back

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

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 Chloroplasts?

Back

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