Cards (11)

  • The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the genetic material and regulating cell activities.
  • Lysosomes' function is digestion and destruction
  • The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies and packages them, and then transports them to other parts of the cell.
    (aka the Golgi Body)
  • Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
    It is responsible for cellular respiration
  • Ribosomes produces proteins essential for cell function and structure
  • The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) transports, process and synthesise of cell products
  • Vacuoles are large, fluid filled sacs in the cytoplasm of plant cells
  • What is the chloroplast's function?
    Photosynthesis
  • What is the difference between the smooth ER and the rough ER?
    The rough ER has ribosomes attatched, the smooth ER does not
  • Which organelle controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell?
    Cell Membrane
  • Where in the nucleus is DNA stored?
    Chromatin
