Cell Basics
These cells have DNA in a nucleus.
What are Eukaryotic Cells?
This organelle controls all cell activities and contains the DNA.
What is the Nucleus?
This structure provides rigid support in plant cells but is absent in animal cells.
What is the Cell Wall?
Provides quick energy
What are carbohydrates?
An athlete needs quick energy before practice. They should eat this type of biomolecule.
What are Carbohydrates?
These simpler cells lack membrane-bound organelles but still carry out life processes like protein synthesis.
What are Prokaryotic Cells?
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell, providing ATP as energy.
What is Mitochondria?
This organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste, and is especially large in plants.
What is the Vacuole?
This biomolecule is insoluble (hydrophobic)
What is a Lipid?
A scientist sees a cell with ribosomes, DNA, and a cell wall but no nucleus. It must be this type.
What is a Prokaryotic cell?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells share this outer boundary that controls what enters and leaves.
What is the Cell Membrane?
Plant cells contain this organelle that captures sunlight to make food.
What is the Chloroplast?
These molecules speed up chemical reactions in cells.
What are Enzymes?
These are the monomer for Proteins
What are Amino Acids?
A molecule made of nucleotides is responsible for storing genetic information.
What is DNA? (Nucleic acids)
Other than Bacteria, this domain is an example of prokaryotes.
What are Archaea?
What are Ribosomes and the Cell Membrane?
This organelle breaks down waste and old cell parts. (Cell trashcan)
What are lysosomes?
This biomolecule is is made of the elements C, H, O, N
What are Proteins?
A scientist is observing the structures of a biomolecule that includes primary, secondary, tertiary, and quarternary structures. This must be this biomolecule.
What are Proteins?
This cell type has linear DNA.
What is a prokaryote?
Without this organelle, proteins could not be transported or modified after being made.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum? (Rough ER)
This organelle packages proteins for delivery, like a post office.
What is the Golgi Complex?
This is the monomer of the biomolecule that provides directions for protein synthesis
What are Nucleotides?
Both plant and animal cells perform this process to release energy from glucose.
What is Cellular Respiration?
