  • What is the main function of ribosomes in eukaryotic cells?
    Ribosomes synthesize proteins.
  • What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?
    Translation is the process by which ribosomes assemble proteins from mRNA.
  • Where are free ribosomes located in eukaryotic cells?
    Free ribosomes are located in the cytoplasm.
  • Where are attached ribosomes located in eukaryotic cells?
    Attached ribosomes are located on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
  • What is the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells?
    The cytoplasm is the area inside the cell but outside the organelles.
  • What organelles are part of the endomembrane system in eukaryotic cells?
    The endomembrane system includes the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and cell membrane.
  • What is the function of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells?
    The nucleus stores genetic material and controls cellular activities.
  • What is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?
    Vacuoles store water and help maintain cell structure.
  • What is the function of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells?
    The cytoskeleton provides structural support and enables cell movement.
  • What are microfilaments made of in eukaryotic cells?
    Microfilaments are made of actin.
  • What are intermediate filaments made of in eukaryotic cells?
    Intermediate filaments are made of various fibrous proteins.
  • What are microtubules made of in eukaryotic cells?
    Microtubules are made of tubulin.
  • What is the function of tight junctions in eukaryotic cells?
    Tight junctions prevent the passage of materials between adjacent cells.
  • What is the function of anchoring junctions in eukaryotic cells?
    Anchoring junctions provide mechanical stability by connecting cells.
  • What is the function of gap junctions in eukaryotic cells?
    Gap junctions allow direct communication between cells.
  • What is the function of plasmodesmata in plant cells?
    Plasmodesmata allow communication and transport between plant cells.
  • Which organelle is only found in animal cells and not in plant cells?
    Lysosomes are only found in animal cells and not in plant cells.
  • What organelles are unique to animal cells?
    Lysosomes are unique to animal cells.
  • Are flagella found in both plant and animal cells?
    Flagella are not typically found in both plant and animal cells; their presence varies and is not a defining feature of either cell type.
  • Are ribosomes present in both plant and animal cells?
    Yes, ribosomes are present in both plant and animal cells.
  • Which organelles are only present in animal cells?
    Lysosomes are only present in animal cells.
  • What organelles do animal cells have that plant cells do not?
    Animal cells have lysosomes, which are not found in plant cells.
  • Name an organelle found only in animal cells.
    Lysosomes are found only in animal cells.
  • Which structures are found in both plant and animal cells?
    Structures found in both plant and animal cells include the nucleus, mitochondria, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and ribosomes.
  • What organelles are not found in animal cells but are present in plant cells?
    Chloroplasts and cell walls are not found in animal cells but are present in plant cells.
  • Which organelles are only found in animal cells?
    Lysosomes are only found in animal cells.
  • Which organelles are not found in plant cells but are present in animal cells?
    Lysosomes are not found in plant cells but are present in animal cells.
  • Name an organelle only found in animal cells.
    Lysosomes are only found in animal cells.
  • What organelles are found only in animal cells?
    Lysosomes are found only in animal cells.
  • Which organelles are only found in plant cells?
    Chloroplasts and cell walls are only found in plant cells.
  • Which organelles are found in both plant and animal cells?
    The nucleus, mitochondria, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and ribosomes are found in both plant and animal cells.
  • Which structures are common to both plant and animal cells?
    Common structures include the nucleus, mitochondria, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and ribosomes.
  • Which organelles are only found in plant cells?
    Chloroplasts and cell walls are only found in plant cells.
  • What organelles do only animal cells have?
