Cell Organelles

What is the function of vacuoles in animal cells?

• Vacuoles in animal cells are involved in photosynthesis.

• Vacuoles in animal cells are involved in storage and transport of substances.

• Vacuoles in animal cells are responsible for cellular respiration.

• Vacuoles in animal cells are primarily for structural support.

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

• The ER is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

• The ER is responsible for energy production in the cell.

• The ER helps in the digestion of cellular waste.

• The ER is involved in the transport of oxygen in the blood.

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

• It synthesizes DNA and RNA.

• It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery.

• It generates ATP through cellular respiration.

• It is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.

What organelle is unique to plant cells and stores water?

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

• Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

• Lysosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

• Lysosomes help in the production of ATP for energy.

• Lysosomes are involved in the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane.

What are cilia and what is their function?

• Cilia are long, whip-like structures that aid in digestion.

• Cilia are short, hair-like structures that help in movement and sensing the environment.

• Cilia are structures that produce energy for the cell.

• Cilia are large, flagellum-like appendages used for reproduction.

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

• It provides energy to the cell.

• It houses the cell's genetic material and controls cellular activities.

• It helps in the synthesis of proteins.

• It is responsible for cell division.

Where does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?

• In the mitochondria.

• In the chloroplasts.

• In the nucleus.

• In the vacuoles.

What is the purpose of the cytoskeleton?

• To provide structural support and help in cell movement.

• To store genetic information.

• To produce energy for the cell.

• To facilitate communication between cells.

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

• Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

• Chloroplasts store water and nutrients for the plant.

• Chloroplasts provide structural support to the plant cell.

• Chloroplasts are responsible for cellular respiration.
