Lying in the center of the cell, this structure is known as the "control center of the cell".
What is the nucleus?
100
This is considered the 'president' of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
100
Only plants have this 'green' organelle, which they use to obtain food and energy.
What are Chloroplasts?
100
Animals typically have this energetic organelle, which they use to obtain food and energy.
What are mitochondria?
100
Amino acids are joined together to make this macromolecule.
What is protein?
200
This is the "goo" that mostly consists of salt, water, and enzymes, which fill up a cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
200
This would be the "air" that fills up a cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
200
Plants use their chloroplasts to go through this process (involving the sun) which gives them food and energy.
What is photosynthesis?
200
Mitochondria generate energy for an organism through a process called ________. *Hint: This happens while you breathe!
What is Cellular Respiration?
200
This Macromolecule consists of fats and oils which don't mix with water. It can also be used to store long term energy!
What are lipids?
300
These tiny organelles are scattered throughout the cell and put together amino acids to form proteins in a process called translation.
What are ribosomes?
300
This is the "power plant" of a cell.
What is the Mitochondria/Chloroplasts? [Either Answer is Acceptable]
300
This large, rigid barrier that consists of sugars and proteins give plant cells their structure.
What is a cell wall?
300
The surrounding barrier of an animal cell is called the _________.
What is a cell membrane?
300
This "twisted ladder" has a double helix structure and provides instructions to make proteins!
What is DNA? *DeoxyriboNucleic Acid gains a bonus point!
400
Name 1 organelle only in plant leaf cells and 1 organelle only in animal cells.
plant leaf- chloroplast/cell wall animal- mitochondria
400
This is the "border control officers" of a cell. They protect the cell and regulate what goes in and out of it
What is the cellular membrane?
400
How are vacuoles in plant cells different from vacuoles in animal cells?
What is because plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells (they need to store more water!).
400
Like a strainer, the cell membrane: A. Lets ALL materials through B. Lets NO materials through C. Filters and lets SOME materials through D. ONLY protects the cell
C!!
400
These are all four of the macromolecules.
What are: 1. Proteins 2. Carbohydrates 3. Lipids 4. Nucleic Acids
500
These are "sacs" or "storage bags" in a cell that store water, waste, and other particles.
What are vacuoles?
500
These are the business men ( that work on very important projects!) of a cell. They help to make proteins and they form the tiny dots (amino acids) to make the chain (proteins)!
What are the ribosomes?
500
Plants store their energy in the form of the sugar ___________ , (We studied this last session too! Its g....l...u...c...)
What is glucose?
500
What is the name of the important process that mitochondria go through to generate energy or ATP?
What is Cellular Respiration?
500
This is the difference between complex and simple carbohydrates.
What is because: Simple carbs (monosaccharides) make up complex carbs (polysaccharides). Examples of simple carbs include glucose and fructose, while examples of complex carbs include sucrose and whole grained bread.
