Flashcards

Peroxisome Function

Peroxisomes are organelles responsible for breaking down hydrogen peroxide, a toxic byproduct of cellular metabolism.

Nucleus Function

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing DNA and RNA, which guide protein synthesis and other cellular activities.

Chloroplast Function

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plants and algae, where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Golgi Apparatus Function

The Golgi apparatus is a series of stacked membranes involved in processing and packaging proteins for secretion and adding sugars to other cellular components.
