Cell Basics
The most fundamental basic unit of life
What is the cell?
This organelle can be described as semi-permeable
What is the cell membrane?
The organelle that protects the plant cell and aids in structure
What is the cell wall?
The 6 characteristics of life
What is grows/develops, reproduces, maintains homeostasis, complex chemistry, made of cells, responds to environment?
The outer most layer of the animal cell
What is cell membrane?
The scientist who discovered the basic unit of life
Who is Robert Hooke?
The 3 parts that make up the nucleus
What is the nuclear envelope, nuclear pores, and nucleolus?
The process in which plants make their own food
What is photosynthesis?
Roughly the amount of cells that make up the human body
What is 30 trillion?
Approximately the number of storms that occur each year globally
What is 16 million storms?
The theory that states out of nothing came life
What is the spontaneous generation theory?
The organelle responsible for creating lipids and breaking down carbohydrates
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This organelle is unique to the plant cell. It sits 'central' inside the cell
What is central vacuole?
The inside of the cell that could be described as gelatinous
What is cytoplasm?
This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells that specializes in the detoxifying and breakdown of dead cellular components
What is peroxisome?
The year the term "cells" was coined
What is 1665?
This makes up a ribosome
What is RNA (ribonucleic acid)?
This organelle is in both plant and animal cells. Its real-life equivalent is infrastructure
What is cytoskeleton?
The term that identifies which type of cell plant and animal cells are. Characterized by membrane bound organelles
What is Eukaryotic cell?
The organelle that is unique to animal cells that plays a role in breaking down molecules
What is lysosome?
The scientist who theorized spontaneous generation
Who is Louis Pasteur?
What is AdenosineTriPhosphate?
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place in the plant cell. It has a high concentration of chlorophyll, hence the green color
What is chloroplast?
DNA stands for
What is Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid?
The animal cell has multiple, smaller versions of this organelle whereas the plant cell only has 1
What is vacuole?
