Cell Organelles

Front

What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.

Front

What organelles are present in plant cells but absent in animal cells?

Back

Chloroplast, Central Vacuole, Cell Wall.

Front

If a cell is compared to a city, what role does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum play?

Back

It acts as the factory of the cell by producing lipids and detoxifying chemicals.

Front

What organelle captures energy from sunlight to produce food in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplast.

Front

What is the primary role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the role of the cell wall in plant cells?

Back

The cell wall provides structure and support to the plant cell.

Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

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