Riddle Me This?????
I'm a living thing, but I'm just one cell,
I can be found in water, or even in your shell.
What am I?
Unicellular organisms
I'm a tiny factory, inside a cell so fine, converting sunlight into energy, all the time. What am I?
Chloroplast
What can break down dead stuff/ food bacteria, old parts of the cell etc
Lysosome
16. What Am I?
1st clue: only in animal cells
2nd clue: made of microtubules
3rd clue: I appear during cell division
4th clue: I help the cell divide by pulling chromosomes apart
What am I?
Centrioles
Within the cell, I am the sea, Holding life, both you and me. A jelly-like substance, clear and bright. Where organelles drift, both day and night. What am I that fills the space, A crucial medium, a vital base
Cytoplasm
I am single-celled, but unlike my eukaryotic cousins, I lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Though I may be small, I am incredibly diverse and play a vital role in ecosystems. What am I?
A prokaryotic organism
What is made of cellulose in plants, chitin in fungi, and peptidoglycan in bacteria? I protect and maintain the shape of the cell.
Cell Wall
What is fluid mosaic model?
It is composed of many parts that move around freely
What is the center of all that contains DNA that controls the cell’s activities?
Nucleus
I am a tiny factory without walls, making proteins one at a time. I do my job both free and bound, translating messages in every cell around. What am I?
Ribosomes
I stand as a barrier but am not a wall.
Made of two layers, I'm flexible and small.
I hold the key to what goes in and out,
A double layer of fat, with a watery clout.
What am I?
A cell membrane
What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum also their jobs
Smooth and Rough ER:
Made of two layers of fats has hydrophilic (like water) heads and hydrophobic (scared of water) tails
Phospholipid bilayer
What is made of threadlike fibers, and proteins, gives the cell its shape, moves organelles around, and provides structural support?
Cytoskeleton
In the cell’s busy tower, I sit all day long, Packing up proteins, where they belong. With layers so stacked, I’m a postman of sorts, Sending out packages, in cellular ports. What am I, this organelle grand, Helping the cell with a delicate hand?
Golgi Apparatus
I help cells swim with ease, a tail-like structure that moves like a breeze. In ponds or in bonds, I help them roam, tiny but mighty, I'm their mobile home. What am I?
Flagella
What does Rough ER do?
has ribosomes make proteins and package them to send them to the Golgi body
What is a process that the lysosome does to do programmed cell death?
Apoptosis
What do all cells have? (hint its 3 things)
Genetic material
Cytoplasm
Cell membrane
In the cell I dwell, so small yet vast, I power life’s dance, holding energy fast. I’m the powerhouse, though unseen by the eye, With countless folds, to help me comply. What am I, that fuels both the humble and grand, In every living being, I take my stand.
Mitochondria
I am the nucleus's heart, but I'm not a part, I gather the builders, where the proteins start. In the cell I reside, as the brain does confide, What am I called, in which ribosomes abide?
Nucleolus
What does smooth ER do?
no ribosomes make lipids
What is the organization of cells from smallest to largest
Cell - tissue - organs - organ system - organism
What is cell theory? (3 things)
All living things are made of cells
Cells are the most basic unit of life
All cells come from other cells
I hold the water, I store the food, In plant cells, I’m always in the mood. With my big, round shape, I take up space. What am I in this microscopic race?
Central vacuole
