What is a cell?

A cell is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all living organisms, often referred to as the building block of life.

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

The nucleus serves as the control center of the cell, housing the cell's genetic material (DNA) and coordinating activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.

What is the role of the cytoplasm in a cell?

The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance within the cell membrane that contains organelles, providing a medium for chemical reactions and cellular processes.

What is the role of the cell membrane in a cell?

The cell membrane acts as a protective barrier that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis and facilitating communication with the external environment.

What is the role of the ribosomes in a cell?

Ribosomes are the molecular machines responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into amino acid sequences, essential for cell function and structure.

What is the role of the mitochondria in a cell?

Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell, generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration, which provides energy for various cellular functions.

What is the role of the chloroplasts in a plant cell?

Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, essential for plant growth and energy.

What is the role of the vacuole in a cell?

Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that store nutrients and waste products.

What is the role of the cell wall in a plant cell?

A stiff outer layer that supports the cell.
