Front

What are the building blocks of nucleic acids?

Back

Nucleotides, which are composed of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

Front

What are the "protein-makers" of a cell?

Back

Ribosomes

Front

Where is DNA located in eukaryotic cells?

Back

In the nucleus.

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 mitochondria in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the structure of a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA.
