Organelles II
100
This organelle contains nearly all of the cell's DNA, and with it, the coded instructions for making proteins and other important molecules.
What is the Nucleus?
100
In 1665, this Englishman coined the term "cells" after viewing a piece of cork underneath a microscope.
Who is Robert Hooke?
100
These types of cells are generally smaller, less complex, and do not separate their genetic material within a nucleus.
What are Prokaryotes?
100
This strong, supporting layer around a cell's membrane is absent in animal cells.
What is a cell wall?
100
The process of Photosynthesis occurs inside this organelle.
What is a Chloroplast?
200
This organelle stores materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.
What is the Vacuole?
200
Often referred to as the "Father of Microbiology," this scientist's work with early microscopes allowed him to observe bacteria and let other scientists explore the cell like never before.
Who is Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
200
These types of cells are generally larger, more complex, and separate their genetic material from the rest of the cell via a nucleus.
What are Eukaryotes?
300
These organelles produce proteins by following coded instructions that come from DNA.
What are Ribosomes?
300
These two scientists concluded that all plants and animals are made up of cells.
Who are Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann?
300
Archaea and Bacteria are...
What are prokaryotes?
400
This organelle converts chemical energy found in food into compounds that the cell can use more efficiently.
What is the Mitochondria?
400
Rudolf Virchow concluded that new cells can be produced only from what?
What is the division of existing cells?
400
Plants, Animals, and Fungi are...
What are Eukaryotes?
500
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for storage inside the cell or release outside the cell.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
500
The discoveries by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow were summarized in the cell theory, which consists of these three main points.
What is that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic units of life, and that new cells are produced from existing cells.
500
Some cells can be eukaryotic but not contain a nucleus. Provide an example.
What are red blood cells?
