Back

A cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates and protects the interior of all cells from the outside environment.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What are nucleic acids?

Back

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are molecules that store and transmit genetic information.

Front

What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms?

Back

Unicellular organisms consist of a single cell, while multicellular organisms are made up of multiple cells.

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts?

Back

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