Cell Structure and Function Pre-Assessment

Front

What is the function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose through photosynthesis.

Front

Where is DNA stored in a cell?

Back

DNA is stored in the nucleus of the cell.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi Complex?

Back

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

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the fluid inside a cell that contains organelles and is the site of many metabolic processes.

Front

What organelle is responsible for energy production in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the primary function of ribosomes?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, providing protection and structural support.

Front

What are lysosomes?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER) and the transport of materials within the cell.
