Flashcards
Peroxisome Function
Peroxisome Function
Peroxisomes are organelles responsible for breaking down hydrogen peroxide, a toxic byproduct of cellular metabolism.
Nucleus Function
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
Chloroplast Function
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plants and algae, where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy.
