Cell Structures

Front

What is the function of a lysosome in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes break down old cell parts and waste materials to be reused by the cell.

Front

Where are proteins made in a cell?

Back

Proteins are made in the ribosomes.

Front

What happens if ribosomes are absent in a cell?

Back

The cell will be deprived of much-needed proteins.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi Apparatus in a cell?

Back

The Golgi Apparatus packages and distributes proteins within the cell.

Front

What is the outer layer that provides support to plant cells?

Back

The cell wall is the rigid outer layer that supports plant cells.

Front

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

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum synthesizes proteins and lipids.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth ER?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER does not have ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?

Back

Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.
