About the Cells
Compound light, stereo or electron, device used to "See" a cell?
What is a microscope?
This is the control center of the cell which contains DNA
What is the nucleus?
This is the powerhouse of the cell, it releases energy in the form of ATP
What is Mitochondria?
This is where photosynthesis takes place; it contains green pigment chlorophyll (only in plants)
What is chloroplast?
This is an energy molecule
What is ATP
It lacks a cell wall, it is the type of cell we have
What is an animal cell?
This is a region outside the nucleus that has liquid/jelly-like substance that organelles float¨ in
What is Cytoplasm?
Found only in plants, this the tough outer layer is made of cellulose, and it protects and surrounds the cell membrane
What is the cell wall?
It acts as the boundary of the cell, allowing substances in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
It means to only let certain substances pass through
What is selectively/semi-permeable
The simplest unit of life
What is a cell?
An organelle that stores water food and waste in plants and animals
What is a vacuole?
I am considered the highway in a cell
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum??
These organelles store water in plants
What is the Vacuole?
It has 3 basic statements:
1. All living things are made of cells
2. Cells are the basic unit of structure & function in ALL living things
3. New cells come from existing cells
What is cell theory
I am responsible for making food in a plant cell
What are Chloroplasts?
The part of the cell where ribosomes are made
What is Nucleolus?
This packages materials into compartments surrounded by a membrane
What is the Golgi Body Apparatus?
I surround and protect the cell, it is selectively semi-permeable
What is cell membrane?
Organisms which have only one cell
What is unicellular
These types of cells have a cell wall, large vacuoles, and chloroplasts
What are Plant Cells?
I am responsible for energy production in a cell
What is the mitochondria?
I am found in animals and plants, the building block for all life.
What are cells?
Organisms with only one cell
What is unicellular?
Organisms with multiple cells; Hint: eukaryotes are the only organism this can be
Multicellular
