If I stop working the cell runs out of energy and struggles to survive. Who am I 

Mitochondria 

200

The principle states that new cells are formed from pre-existing cells.

Cell Theory

200

Why ATP is often called the “energy currency” of the cell and what does it stand for?

Because it stores and releases energy that cells need to perform work

ATP -adenosine triphosphate 

200

What is the role of Mitochondria

A) Make ATP

B) Make Protein

C) Make Lipids  

B) Make Protein

I unzip without a sound

Match my letters all around

A pairs with T, C with G

Make a twin that looks like me

Who am I?


DNA Replication 

400

The specific pocket on an enzyme where the reactant attaches.

The active site

400

A set of metabolic reactions in cells that convert the chemical energy stored in food (especially glucose) into ATP

Cellular respiration

What is the role of Lysosome 

A) Give you Energy 

B) Breaks down waste and damaged organelles

C) provide a way to go to the nucleolus 

B) Breaks down waste and damaged organelles

In the cytoplasm I begin

Breaking glucose from deep within.

No oxygen? I still proceed

A little ATP is all I need

What am I?


Glycolysis

What is the structure of ATP?

A nitrogenous base (adenine)

A sugar (ribose)

Three phosphate groups bonded in a chain

I’m the boss but I never leave my office.
I hold the blueprints for everything you’ll ever be.
When it’s time to build, I send out copies of my instructions.
Without me, you’re just cytoplasm and vibes.
