Back

The larger a cell is, the more difficult it is for the cell to move enough nutrients and wastes across its cell membrane to maintain its normal functions.

Front

What organelle contains digestive enzymes to break down waste and worn out parts of the cell?

Back

Lysosome

Front

Which part of the cell stores water and minerals?

Back

Vacuole

Front

Which type of cell is easier to get oxygen in and waste out?

Back

Small cell

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes?

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the purpose of vacuoles in plant cells?

Back

Vacuoles store nutrients, waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.
