Vocabulary
A part of the cells that contains DNA
Nucleus
What is the basic unit of life?
Cells
What provides plant cells with structure and support?
Cell Wall
What are some differences between plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall; not animal cells. Plant cells have chloroplasts; not animal cells. Plant cells are boxier shaped. Animal cells have more vacuoles that are smaller than the one big vacuole in a plant cell.
What tool can be used to help see cells easier?
A microscope
A jelly-like substance that keeps all the organelles in place
Cytoplasm
A cell structure that performs a specific function, also known as "little organ."
An organelle
What organelle makes food in a plant cell?
Chloroplasts
This part of the cell acts like a thin skin, controlling what goes in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
where can you find a cell with a cell wall, a nucleus, and chloroplasts?
A plant cell, because animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts.
This green structure uses sunlight to make food for the plant.
Chloroplast
How does a chloroplast make its food?
Using photosynthesis
What color is the cell membrane?
Light Green
What color is the nucleus?
Orange
What controls everything in the cells or is known as the brain for the cell?
The nucleus
Controls what enters and leaves the cell
The cell membrane
Made up of only one cell
unicellular
What color is the cell wall?
Dark Green
What color is the cytoplasm?
Purple
What three main parts do both plant and animal cells have?
Cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm.
This part of a plant cell surrounds the cell membrane and helps protect the cell.
Cell Wall
Made up of more than one cell
Multicellular
Plant cells are what shape and why?
Rectangular because of the cell wall.
Why should animal cells be a circular shape?
Our bodies have more movement than plants.
What are cells made up of?
organelles
