What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum?
Rough ER and Smooth ER.
True or False: The nucleolus is involved in ribosome production.
True
What is the main role of the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell.

B) Smooth ER
What is the role of peroxisomes in the cell?
Peroxisomes break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances.
Fill in the blank: The _____ is responsible for maintaining the shape of the cell.
cytoskeleton
What are organelles?
Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions.
True or False: All organelles are membrane-bound.
False
What is the function of vacuoles in plant cells?
Vacuoles store nutrients and waste products, and help maintain turgor pressure.
Multiple Choice: Which organelle is known for its double membrane? A) Ribosome B) Nucleus C) Lysosome D) Golgi apparatus
B) Nucleus
What is the role of cytoplasm in the cell?
Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills the cell and contains organelles, facilitating cellular processes.
Fill in the blank: The _____ is a network of protein filaments that helps the cell maintain its shape.
cytoskeleton
What is the primary role of the Golgi apparatus?
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery.
True or False: Smooth ER has ribosomes on its surface.
False
What is the main function of lysosomes?
Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
