What is the primary function of the nucleus in a cell?
The nucleus serves as the control center of the cell, housing the cell’s DNA and coordinating activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
True or False: Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell.
True
Fill in the blank: The _____ is responsible for protein synthesis.
ribosome
What organelle is involved in detoxifying harmful substances in the cell?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Which organelle is responsible for packaging and distributing proteins?
Golgi apparatus
Multiple Choice: Which of the following organelles is involved in energy production? A) Ribosome B) Mitochondria C) Golgi apparatus
B) Mitochondria
What is the function of lysosomes?
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
True or False: The rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes.
True
Fill in the blank: The _____ is responsible for maintaining the cell’s shape and providing structural support.
cytoskeleton
What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?
Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy.
Multiple Choice: Which organelle is known as the ‘suicide bag’ of the cell? A) Nucleus B) Lysosome C) Golgi apparatus
B) Lysosome
What does the cell membrane do?
The cell membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
True or False: Peroxisomes are involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification.
True
Fill in the blank: The _____ is a double-membrane organelle that produces ATP.
mitochondrion
Which organelle is responsible for synthesizing lipids?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Multiple Choice: What is the main function of the nucleolus? A) Ribosome production B) Protein synthesis C) DNA replication
A) Ribosome production
What is the primary function of the cell wall in plant cells?
The cell wall provides structural support and protection to the plant cell.
True or False: Ribosomes can be found free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
True
Fill in the blank: The _____ is the site of photosynthesis in plant cells.
chloroplast
What is the function of the vacuole in plant cells?
The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure.
Multiple Choice: Which organelle modifies and sorts proteins? A) Ribosome B) Golgi apparatus C) Lysosome
B) Golgi apparatus
What is the role of the cytoplasm?
The cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid that fills the cell and holds the organelles in place.
True or False: Centrioles are involved in cell division.
True
Fill in the blank: The _____ is a network of protein filaments that helps the cell maintain its shape.
cytoskeleton
