Plant Cells
Which type of cell has a cell wall: plant or animal?
Plant
Which organelle is often called the "Powerhouse of the Cell"?
The Mitochondria
What molecule contains genetic information?
DNA
Which process produces two genetically similar cells: mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis
I’m basically the bouncer of the cell. I decide who gets in and who has to leave. Who am I?
What green structure helps plant cells capture energy from sunlight?
The Chloroplast
True or False: Animal cells have a cell wall.
False
What do you inherit from your biological parents that helps determine traits like eye color?
Which process is involved in making sperm and egg cells?
Meiosis
I’m the solar-powered member of the plant cell. Give me sunlight and I’ll put it to work.Who am I?
True or False: Plant cells have a cell membrane.
True
What part of the cell contains most of its DNA?
The Nucleus
DNA stands for what?
Deoxyribonucleic acid
How many daughter cells are produced in mitosis?
Two identical daughter cells
I’m tiny, but I have a very important job: I make proteins all day long. Who am I?
Ribosome
What large structure in a plant cell can store water, nutrients, and waste?
Vacuole
If a cell's lysosomes stopped working, what would likely happen?
Waste and damaged materials would accumulate.
The alternate form of a gene is known as?
An Allele
Which produces more genetic variation: mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis
Something is old, broken, or useless? Send it my way. I’m basically the cell’s garbage disposal. Who am I?
Lysosome
Name one structure that is found in plant cells that is NOT found in animal cells.
Cell wall, Chloroplast, Plasmodesmata
A cell needs to make a protein and then send it outside the cell. Which organelles would likely be involved?
Ribosome → Rough ER → Golgi apparatus → Vesicle → Cell membrane
If two parents both carry a recessive genetic trait but do not show the trait themselves, what is the probability that their child will show the trait?
25%
A human skin cell divides to make new cells for growth or repair. Which process is being used? Mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis
I’m all about communication. I create tiny connections between neighboring plant cells. Who am I?
Plasmodesmata
