Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions.
What is the Nucleus ?
100
This firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria and some protists.
What is the Cell Wall ?
100
Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color.
What is the Chloroplast ?
100
This cell part is a compartment for storing materials (ex. water, food, waste)
What is a Vacuole ?
100
This is the "post office", or packaging center of the cell.
What is the Golgi Apparatus (or Golgi Complex, or all the Golgi Bodies) ?
200
Carries cell products from one part of cell to another. (Acts like a piece of mail)
What is a Vesicle ?
200
Small "bumps" located on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What are Ribosomes ?
200
This is the framework of protein fibers (microtubules, microfilaments) that hold the cell together:
What is the Cytoskeleton ?
200
The gel-like substance in the cell.
What is the Cytoplasm ?
200
This organelle acts like a waste disposal and recycling center of a city.
What is a Lysosome ?
300
This organelle digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses or bacteria.
What is a Lysosome ?
300
This part of the nucleus is where ribosomes are made:
What is the Nucleolus ?
300
This "factory" produces lipids and carbs:
What is the Smooth ER ?
300
This organelle uses cellular respiration to convert food into energy:
What is the Mitochondrion ?
300
Your body has organs, and each of your cells has these parts to perform different functions:
What are Organelles ?
400
This organelle acts like a power plant.
What is a Mitochondrion ?
400
This organelle is the "assembly line" or "factory" of the cell, and comes in 2 types:
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum ?
400
Name the 3 organelles located in plant cells but not animal cells.
What is the Cell Wall, Chloroplast and Central Vacuole ?
400
Some cells have these numerous hairs to help them move:
What are Cilia ?
400
This is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What is Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or any organelles. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other organelles.
500
The collection of DNA in the nucleus is organized into units called these (humans have 46 of them):
What are Chromosomes ?
500
Which of these four cell parts is not found in bacteria:
Cytosplasm
Ribosomes
Cell membrane
Nuclear membrane.
What is the Nuclear Membrane ?
500
The long whiplike tails that some cells move with are called these:
What are Flagella ?
500
This outer boundary in all cells determines what enters and leaves the cell"
What is the Cell Membrane ?
500
Name 1 of the 3 parts of the cell theory:
What is
1 All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
OR
2 The cell is the basic unit of structure and function of organisms
OR
3 all cells come from pre-existing cells.
