What is the function of Mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are organelles that convert food into energy (ATP) for both plant and animal cells.

Front

What is the Cell Wall?

Back

The Cell Wall is a rigid layer that lies outside the cell membrane, providing structure and protection, primarily found in plant cells.

Front

What role does the Nucleus play in a cell?

Back

The Nucleus directs all cell activities and contains the cell's DNA.

Front

What are Ribosomes responsible for?

Back

Ribosomes are tiny organelles that are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

What is the primary function of Chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.

Front

Define Lysosomes.

Back

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

Front

What is the Cytoskeleton?

Back

The Cytoskeleton is a network of fibers that helps maintain the cell's shape and aids in movement.

Front

What is the Golgi Body's function?

Back

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

Front

What are Vesicles?

Back

Vesicles are small membrane-bound sacs that transport materials within the cell.

Front

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

Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is involved in the synthesis of proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER) and transports them within the cell.
