Organelle Riddles
I am a real "powerhouse"
That's plain to see
I break down food
And release energy
What is mitochondria
This microscope part is where you put a slide to be observed
What is the stage?
True or False: Humans are not considered multi-cellular.
What is false?
This organelle stores nutrients and water
What is a vacuole?
This organelle keeps all other organelles in place.
What is the cytoplasm?
I'm found only in plant cells
I'm as green as can be
I make food for the plant
Using the sun's energy
What is the chloroplast?
This microscope part has the highest magnification.
What is High Power (40x)?
Prokaryotic cells lack what organelle?
What is the nucleus?
This organelle breaks down waste materials in a cell
What is a lysosome?
This characteristic of living things refers to when a baby eventually becomes an adult.
What is grow and develop?
I'm the brain of the cell
Or so they say
I regulate activities
From day to day
What is the nucleus?
These two microscope parts are used to properly carry a microscope.
What is the arm and base?
True or False: Prokaryotic cells are found in single-celled organisms.
What is true?
This organelle makes proteins.
What is the ribosomes?
Put these levels of organization is order from smallest to largest?
organ, organism, cell, tissues, and organ system.
What is
Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism?
I'm full of holes
Flexible and thin
I control what gets out
As well as what comes in
What is the cell membrane?
This microscope part is used the bring the stage closer to the objectives.
What is the coarse adjustment?
These organelles can be found in a plant cells but not in an animal cell.
What is cell wall, chloroplast, and central vacuole?
This organelle packages proteins and molecules into vesicles and sends them around the cell.
What is the golgi body?
Indicate the magnification levels.
Low Power - 4X
Medium Power - 10X
High Power - 40X
I'm the fluid in the cell
That fills in the space
My main purpose is
To hold organelles in place
What is the cytoplasm?
This microscope part is used to make the eyepiece focus on the specimen and become less blurry
What is the fine adjustment?
Name all parts to the Cell Theory
What is
- cells are the building blocks to life
- cells are the smallest functioning units of life
- all cells comes from cells
This organelle transports molecules around the cell.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?
Name the six characteristics of living things.
What is
1) made of cells 2) obtain/use energy and eliminate waste
3) grow and develop 4) reproduce
5) respond to stimuli 6) maintain homeostasis
