Cells
what are cells?
cells are the basic structure in living things
What is the nucleus?
the Nucleus is the control center of the cell
What's the difference between animal and plant cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall, but animals cells do not. Plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells do not. Chloroplasts enable plants to perform photosynthesis to make food
A thin structure that surrounds the cell. It separates and protects the cell from things surrounding it and controls what moves in and out of the cell.
Cell membrane
What are there things cells have in common?
the there things cells have in common are a cell membrane, cytoplasm and DNA
What is the cell membrane?
The cell membrane is the thin structure that surrounds a cell.
How many vacuoles are different in plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have only one or two very large vacuoles Animal cells have many small vacuoles
A cell that has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Eukaryote
What are the two broad categories of cells?
Eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells
What is the mitochondria?
The mitochondria is known as the powerhouse of the cell
What is the difference between animal and plant cells organelles?
Plant cells have roundish organelles called chloroplasts, while animals do not have chloroplasts or chlorophyll and thus cannot make their own food.
An organelle that converts food into energy that a cell can use. It is the “powerhouse” of the cell.
Mitochondria
How did cells get their name?
Cells got their name from Robert Hooke, an English scientist as he used his microscope to identify small boxes on a cork
what is the vacuole?
The vacuole stores extra water it will pump extra water out of the cell
Name three things plant cells have that animal cells don't
Cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus
An organelle that stores food, water, and waste. They are the “storage bins” of the cell.
Vacuole
What is the cell theory?
the cells theory is that all living things are made of cells
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum will move along these tubes from one organelle to another.
do plant cells have lysosomes
lysosomes are very rare in plant cells
A type of passive transport across membranes that do not require energy; particles move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
Diffusion
