What is Cell Theory?

100

All cells are approximately 5-50 microns in size and can only be seen with this equipment. 

Light microscope
100

This organelle controls the operations within the cell. 

The nucleus

100

The two basic types of cells. 

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic

100

If you are not a bacteria, then you are this type of cell. 

Eukaryotic

200

One of the characteristics of life matches this statement of the cell theory. 

All organisms are made of one or more cells. 

200

The cell membrane functions in being picky to protect the cell and help maintain the cell size.  This is called...

Selective permeability

200

This type of cell only possesses a nucleoid region where DNA is located. 

Prokaryotic or bacteria
200
This structure is the gatekeeper to the cell. 

Cell Membrane

200

When DNA is wound up!

Chromosome

300

Scientists consider life to begin with this structure. 

A cell. 

300

A jelly-like fluid in the cell. 

Cytosol

300

Makes proteins

Ribosomes

300

A group of cells that work together to form a specific function

A tissue

300

DNA has this form when the cell is functioning under normal conditions

Chromatin

400

Cells spontaneously generate or happen out of the air.  What part of the cell theory disproves this statement. 

Cells come from pre-existing cells.

400

This ratio restricts the size of a cell. 

Surface Area to Volume

400

The internal highway system of the cell. 

The cytoskeleton.
400

Stem cells will be converted into specific cells for a particular task.  This process is called 

Cell specialization

400

An infected cell is unable to package and distributes proteins. This organelle must be damaged.

Golgi bodies or apparatus

500

This part of the cell theory is considered a modern part of the theory. 

Genetic material is passed onto daughter cells. 

500

Name the key advantage to having many cells. 

Larger organisms

500

This organelle finalizes the protein synthesis process. 

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

500

A cell wall is found in the cells of these three types of organisms. 

Plant, fungi, and bacteria

500

Other than the cell membrane, this organelle is found in all cells.
