Back

A Vacuole is a sac-like organelle that stores water, food, and other materials in a cell.

Front

What do Mitochondria do?

Back

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions.

Front

What is the role of Lysosomes in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes contain chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones that can be used by the rest of the cell.

Front

What is Cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is a thick, clear, gel-like fluid that fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus.

Front

What do Ribosomes produce?

Back

Ribosomes are small grain-shaped organelles that produce proteins for the cell.

Front

What is the Cell Wall?

Back

The Cell Wall is a rigid outer layer that provides support and protection to plant cells.

Front

What is the function of the Nucleus?

Back

The Nucleus is the control center of the cell that contains genetic material (DNA) and regulates cell activities.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi Apparatus?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is involved in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER) and transports materials within the cell.

Front

What are Chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
