Cell Organelles and Function

What is the function of a lysosome?

• To remove waste using digestive enzymes from the cell.

• To synthesize proteins for the cell.

• To provide energy to the cell through respiration.

• To store genetic information.

What is the function of the cell wall?

• To provide structure and support to plant cells.

• To regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

• To store genetic information.

• To produce energy for the cell.

What organelle is called the 'powerhouse' of a cell?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Golgi Apparatus

What is the function of the mitochondria?

• To produce energy for the cell.

• To store genetic information.

• To synthesize proteins.

• To regulate cell division.

What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum?

• To transport materials within the cell and produce proteins and lipids.

• To generate energy for the cell through cellular respiration.

• To store genetic information and control cell division.

• To provide structural support and shape to the cell.

What is the function of the vacuole?

• Sac that stores water, nutrients, and waste products.

• Site of protein synthesis in the cell.

• Organelle responsible for energy production.

• Structure that provides support and rigidity to plant cells.

What is the function of chloroplasts?

• To carry out photosynthesis and convert sunlight into energy.

• To store genetic information in the form of DNA.

• To synthesize proteins and enzymes for cellular functions.

• To regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

What is the function of ribosomes?

• To synthesize proteins.

• To store genetic information.

• To produce energy for the cell.

• To transport materials within the cell.

What is cytoplasm?

• The jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds organelles.

• A type of organelle responsible for energy production.

• The outer membrane of the cell that protects it from the environment.

• A structure that carries genetic information within the cell.

What are the differences between plant and animal cells?

• Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts; animal cells do not.

• Animal cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts; plant cells do not.

• Both plant and animal cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts.

• Plant cells are smaller than animal cells.
