What organelle allows plant cells to make their own food?

Back

Chloroplasts enable plant cells to perform photosynthesis and make their own food.

Front

Back

The cell membrane controls what comes into and out of the cell.

Front

What is the primary function of the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus stores the cell's genetic material and controls cellular activities.

Front

What is the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

Front

What do chloroplasts contain that is essential for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which captures light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a membrane-bound nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do.
