{“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Cell wall”,”exam”:”Plant walls = cellulose; fungal walls = chitin; bacterial walls = peptidoglycan.”}

{“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Chloroplast”,”exam”:”Chloroplasts have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes (endosymbiotic origin).”}

{“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Dictyosome”,”exam”:”Cytokinesis in plants depends on Golgi-derived vesicles.”}

{“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Middle lamella”,”exam”:”Fruit ripening softens pectin in the middle lamella, so tissues fall apart.”}

{“group”:”Cell biology”,”term”:”Mitochondrion”,”exam”:”Non-green tissues and night-time metabolism rely on mitochondrial ATP.”}
