  • The nucleus contains the cell's DNA which stores genetic information.
  • The cell membrane is the outermost layer that surrounds all cells.
  • Ribosomes are small, spherical organelles responsible for protein synthesis within the cell.
  • Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs involved in storage, digestion, and waste removal within the cell.
  • The cytoplasm is where most chemical reactions take place, including protein synthesis.
  • Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy through aerobic respiration.
  • Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis.
  • Cells are the basic building blocks of life, with different types of cells performing specific functions within organisms.
  • Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made up of cellulose fibers to support their structure.
  • Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell where energy production occurs through aerobic respiration.
  • Animal cells do not have a cell wall but instead rely on other structures such as cytoskeleton proteins like actin filaments and microtubules for structural support.
  • Vacuoles store water, nutrients, or waste products within the cell.
  • Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes used to break down waste materials inside the cell.
  • Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles containing enzymes used to break down substances inside the cell.
  • Mitochondria are double-membraned structures where aerobic respiration occurs, producing ATP (energy) for the cell.
  • Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, producing energy through aerobic respiration.
  • Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and contain chlorophyll, allowing them to carry out photosynthesis.
  • Lysosomes are vesicles containing enzymes used for breaking down substances inside the cell.
  • Cell walls provide structural support and protection to the cell.
  • Cell walls are present in some types of cells to support their shape or protect them from external factors.
  • Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis.
  • Lysosomes break down unwanted materials inside the cell using enzymes.
  • Lysosomes contain enzymes used to break down substances inside the cell.
  • Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are found only in plant cells, converting light into sugar during photosynthesis.
  • Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and contain chlorophyll, allowing them to carry out photosynthesis.
  • Bacterial cells do not have a nucleus or other membranous organelles like plant and animal cells.
  • Bacterial cells do not have a nucleus or other membranous structures like plant and animal cells.
  • Vacuoles store water, nutrients, waste products, and other substances inside plant cells.
  • Animal cells lack a cell wall but have a plasma membrane that regulates what enters or exits the cell.
  • The nucleus is the control center of the cell that contains genetic material (DNA) and controls all cellular activities.
  • Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and contain chlorophyll which allows them to carry out photosynthesis.
  • Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
  • Vacuoles store water, nutrients, waste products, and pigments.
  • The nucleus is the control center of the cell that contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities.
  • The nucleus contains genetic material (DNA) that controls cellular activities.
  • Ribosomes are small organelles that synthesize proteins using information from DNA.
