Which organelle is known as the 'suicide bag' of a cell?
Lysosomes
What is the function of chloroplasts?
To produce carbohydrates through photosynthesis
What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?
To contain the cell's genetic information and control growth and reproduction
What are plastids and what is their function?
Plastids are organelles found only in plants and algae. They are sites of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds such as food and photosynthetic pigments.
What is the structure of the nucleus and what is its function?
The nucleus is a double membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's hereditary information and controls the cell's growth and reproduction. It consists of a nuclear membrane, nucleoplasm, nucleolus, and chromosomes.
What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?
Lysosomes are organelles that can digest all cellular content, including cell debris, foreign proteins, bacteria, and viruses. They are also known as scavengers or cellular housekeepers.
Test your knowledge on Lysosomes, the "digestive bags" of cells and the vital role they play in removing cell debris and serving as scavengers and cellular housekeepers. Explore how they function as a garbage disposal system and how they enable white blood cells to digest foreign proteins, bacteria, and viruses. Take the quiz now to see how much you know about lysosomes and their critical function in the human body!
