Organelles
A sturdy, rigid outer layer found only in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria.
What is a cell wall?
Prokaryotic organisms are comprised of _______ cell(s).
What is one cell (unicellular)?
The __________ is the smallest building block of life.
What is a cell?
True/False: Eukaryotic organisms can be unicellular or multicellular.
What is true?
This houses the genetic material and coordinates instructions for growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
What is the nucleus?
The green organelles only found in plant cells that capture sunlight to make food via photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
Prokaryotic cells (unicellular organisms) lack these two items when compared to a eukaryotic cell.
What is a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles?
All cells come from ___________________?
What is other cells or pre-existing cells?
This is the main difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic organism:
What are membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles?
The protective outer barrier of all cells that controls what goes in and out.
What is the cell membrane?
A stack of flattened membranes that sorts, modifies, and packages proteins for delivery, acting like the cell's post office.
What are Golgi Bodies/Apparatus?
Prokaryotic organisms were the very first life forms on Earth and all of them are types of _________.
What is Bacteria?
All living organisms are comprised of ________.
What are cells?
Any of multiple, tiny structures within a cell that perform a specific function for that cell:
What are organelles?
This folded membrane network has two regions, one covered in ribosomes with a rough appearance and one that synthesizes lipids.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
Storage sac-like structures that hold water, nutrients, and waste. Animal cells have multiple of these, plant cells generally have one large one.
What are vacuoles?
Prokaryotic organisms keep their DNA free floating in an area inside the cell called a _________. Hint: starts w/ an "N."
What is the nucleoid?
Advancements in this type of ocular scientific instrument paved the way for the discovery of cells and cell theory.
What is a microscope?
Eukaryotic organisms are all classified under the Domain:
What is the Domain Eukarya?
These tiny structures build proteins and float freely in the cytoplasm or attach to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What are ribosomes?
Small structures filled with digestive enzymes that break down waste, old cell parts, and bacteria. Sort of like the cell's garbage trucks.
What are lysosomes?
Prokaryotic organisms are classified under two of the three Domains, _______ and __________.
What are Bacteria and Archaea?
In medieval times, people thought they got sick because it was cold outside or because they had inhaled bad air. This theory was known as " _____ _______."
What is "spontaneous generation?"
Organisms like yeasts, molds, and mushrooms with chitin cell walls are classified under this Domain:
What is Eukarya?
The jelly-like fluid that fills the cell and holds all the organelles in place.
What is cytoplasm?
