Cell Organelles and their Functions

Front

What is the function of the Cell Wall?

Back

The Cell Wall provides structural support and protection to the cell, maintaining its shape and preventing excessive water intake.

Front

What is the role of the Nucleolus in a cell?

Back

The Nucleolus is responsible for producing ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the Chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll to capture sunlight.

Front

What are Lysosomes and their function?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the Golgi Body?

Back

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

Front

What is the Cell Membrane and its importance?

Back

The Cell Membrane is a protective barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is Cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance within the cell membrane that contains organelles and is the site for many metabolic processes.

Front

What is the function of the Mitochondria?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of Ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, translating messenger RNA into polypeptide chains.

Front

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

Back

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