Cell Basics
This is the smallest unit of life
What is a cell?
These cells have no nucleus.
What are prokaryotic cells?
This controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The powerhouse of the cell.
What are mitochondria?
Cells divide to do this.
What is growth and repair?
Cells were first discovered by this scientist in 1665.
Who is Robert Hooke?
These cells have a true nucleus.
What are eukaryotic cells?
This gel-like material fills the cell.
What is cytoplasm?
These build proteins.
What are ribosomes?
Cells convert nutrients into this

What are cells
Bacteria are an example of this type of cell.
What are prokaryotic cells?
This is known as the control center of the cell.

These store water, nutrients, and waste.
What are vacuoles?
Cells reproduce by doing this.
What is dividing?
Cells are too small to see without this instrument.
What is a microscope?
Plants and animals are made of these cells.
What are eukaryotic cells?
Plant cells have this rigid outer layer.
What is the cell wall?
This organelle contains DNA
What is the nucleus?
This process produces ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
Cells perform these basic life activities.
What are life functions?
This type of cell contains membrane-bound organelles.
What are eukaryotic cells?
Plant cells use these to perform photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
This organelle makes ATP through cellular respiration.
What are mitochondria?
Cells pass on this when they reproduce
What is genetic information?
