L5 Cell Organelles 2024

Front

What is the function of the Nucleolus?

Back

The Nucleolus makes ribosomes and writes how they should function, similar to a 'mayor'.

Front

What is the role of Mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria produce the energy needed for the cell's functions, acting like a 'powerplant'.

Front

What do Ribosomes do?

Back

Ribosomes make proteins that help the cell function and provide structure, similar to 'businesses'.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi Body (Apparatus)?

Back

The Golgi Body assembles and packages proteins for distribution, like a 'Post Office' or 'Amazon'.

Front

What does DNA provide for the cell?

Back

DNA contains instructions for building cell parts and carrying out life functions, like an 'instruction manual'.

Front

What is the main purpose of cell organelles?

Back

Cell organelles perform specific functions that are essential for the cell's survival and operation.

Front

How do Mitochondria contribute to cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy through cellular respiration, providing ATP for the cell.

Front

What is the significance of Ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where amino acids are assembled into proteins, crucial for cell function.

Front

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

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids, acting as a transport system within the cell.

Front

How do Lysosomes function in a cell?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, acting like a 'recycling center'.
