Cell Organelles Quiz

Cellular Structure and Function

• The plasma membrane is a semipermeable membrane that surrounds the cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out.

Nuclear Envelope

• The nuclear envelope is the structure that surrounds the nucleus, composed of a double membrane with pores that allow the exchange of molecules.

Protein Synthesis

• The ribosome is the organelle responsible for the synthesis of proteins, where mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain.

Cellular Energy Production

• The mitochondria is the organelle known as the 'powerhouse' of the cell, responsible for generating most of the cell's energy through cellular respiration.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Function

• The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in several functions, including protein synthesis, lipid synthesis, and detoxification, and it also provides a pathway for the transport of molecules between the nucleus and the cell surface.
