I Wish this was a Kahoot!
100

It's found in both animal and plant cells, and it's involved in the manufacturing of RNA and DNA storage. It contains the “blueprints” of cell components, and it's surrounded by a semipermeable membrane of its own. It's found in plant and animal cells.

What is the nucleus?
100

Made up of filaments and tubules throughout the cell, it helps shape/support the cell while allowing things to grab onto it to move throughout the cell. Found in all cells.

What is the cytoskeleton?
100
Meaning "small vessel", this organelle helps store and transport products made by the cell. It's composed of a lipid bilayer and found in plant and animal cells.
What are vesicles?
100
Helping with the organization of chromosomes in cell division, these churro-shaped organelles are found in eukaryotes.
What are centrioles?
100
Located in the middle of a plant cell, this membranous organelle provides plenty of water for photosynthesis.
What is the central vacuole?
200
Small and dense, and located in the nucleus, it is involved in synthesizing ribosomes. It's found in plant and animal cells.
What is the nucleolus?
200
These small fibers in the shape of tubes help compose the cytoskeleton. They're found in eukaryotic cells, and some bacteria.
What are microtubules?
200
Operating to synthesize lipids, these membranes are found throughout plant and animal cells.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum(ER)?
200
Containing mostly water, this gel-like substance surrounds all things inside the cell. This is found in all cells.
What is the cytoplasm?
200
This organelle is found in plants. It converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of sugars through photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
300
Involved in the synthesis of proteins and has ribosomes attached to it, this structure is membranous and found throughout the cytoplasm in plant and animal cells.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum(ER)?
300
Found in bacteria and plant cells, this tough outer layer past the cell membrane helps give the cell structure as well as protection from outer forces. In most plants, this structure is made of cellulose, and in bacteria, it's made of peptidoglycan.
What is the cell wall?
300
These membranous sacs with digestive enzymes are used to remove and recycle cells parts. These are found in plant and animal cells.
What are lysosomes?
300
Allowing for molecules to pass in and out of the cell and aiding in separating the cell from the environment, this fluid barrier is made of phospholipids and found in all cells.
What is the plasma membrane?
300

Part of the cytoskeleton, these medium sized tubes help give eukaryotic cells support and structure.

What are intermediate filaments?
400
It's the organelle in the cell responsible for packaging and shipping proteins to where they are needed. It's found in plant and animal cells, and composed of membranous sacs.
What is the Golgi Apparatus (Body/Complex)?
400

These are holes located in the cell wall of plants that allow communication and transportation of materials between plant cells since their cell membranes don't touch.

What are Plasmodesmata?
400
These organelles are involved in cellular respiration, converting chemical energy in food to ATP. Found in both plant and animal cells.
What are mitochondria?
400
Involved in protein synthesis, these small spheres are found either in the cytoplasm (free) or attached to the Rough ER (bound). Every cell has them, and they're also in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
What are ribosomes?
400
Assisting with cell-to-cell communication, this structure is found in between cells in multi-celled organisms.
What is the extracellular matrix?
500
These molecules collect and break down molecules that are harmful to the cell. They are small sacs, and found in plant and animal cells.
What are peroxisomes?
500
Surrounding the nucleus, it's selectively permeable, meaning only some things can get in and out of the nucleus. Found in plant and animal cells.
What is the nuclear envelope(membrane)?
500
Found in eukaryotes, these 7nm thick actin fibers help with cell mobility.
What are microfilaments?
500
This material made of RNA and DNA packs itself into a dense shaped to store the genetic material of eukaryotes.
What is chromatin?
500
These openings between plant and animal cells help cells communicate and exchange materials.
What are cell junctions?
