What is the role of ribosomes in the cell?
Click to flip
Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, translating genetic information to make proteins.
Click to flip
What function does the cell membrane perform?
Click to flip
The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell, providing protection and structural support.
Click to flip
What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and its types?
Click to flip
The ER is a network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis, consisting of two types: rough ER (with ribosomes) and smooth ER (without ribosomes).
Click to flip
How does the Golgi apparatus assist the cell?
Click to flip
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell.
Click to flip
What are lysosomes and their role in a cell?
Click to flip
Lysosomes are organelles containing digestive enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
Click to flip
What is the function of chloroplasts, and where are they found?
Click to flip
Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in plant cells.
Click to flip
What role do vacuoles play in a cell?
Click to flip
Vacuoles store nutrients and waste products, helping maintain pressure and balance within the cell.
Click to flip
What is the cytoplasm and its importance?
Click to flip
The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance where organelles are suspended, aiding in cellular processes and transport.
Click to flip
Describe the function of the cell wall.
Click to flip
The cell wall provides structural support and protection, found in plant cells and some bacteria.
Click to flip
How do peroxisomes function within a cell?
Click to flip
Peroxisomes break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances in the cell.
Click to flip
What is the function of the cytoskeleton in a cell?
Click to flip
The cytoskeleton provides shape, support, and facilitates movement of the cell and its components.
Click to flip
What are centrioles and their function in the cell?
Click to flip
Centrioles help in cell division by assisting in the organization of the mitotic spindle.
Click to flip
What is the function of the nuclear envelope?
Click to flip
The nuclear envelope encloses the nucleus, protecting its contents and regulating material exchange with the cytoplasm.
