Cell Organelles Part 1
What is the function of the nucleus?
The nucleus controls the cell's activities and contains DNA.
What are mitochondria known as
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell
What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular?
Multicellular is many cells, and unicellular is a single cell
Bacteria is an example of?
Prokaryotic Cells
List two organelles plant cells have that animal cells do not.
The cell wall and the chloroplast.
What is the role of the lysosome?
Lysosomes digest and break down waste materials and cellular debris.
What is a key function of chloroplasts?
Bonus 100: Can you name this process?
Chloroplasts convert sunlight into energy. The process is photosynthesis.
What is the first part of the cell theory?
All organisms are made up of one or more living cells.
Prokaryotes
Besides the cell wall and the chloroplast, what is another difference in organelles for the plant and animal cell?
The size of vacuole
What is the function of the cell membrane?
The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell.
What do vacuoles do in plant cells? Bonus 100: What cell is this larger in?
Holds waste, food and water. Bonus: Larger in plant cells.
Which part of cell theory is this? "Cells are the basic unit of structure and organization in all living organisms."
This type of cell is smaller, simple, and older, it is a ?
What organelle helps plants create their own food?
The chloroplast
What is the purpose of the endoplasmic reticulum?
The ER carries materials through the cell
What do Golgi bodies do?
Packages and Transports proteins and other materials to be stored in the cell of released outside the cell.
Define the cell theory in one sentence
The cell theory states that all living organisms are composed of cells, which are the basic units of life, and that all cells arise from existing cells.
What are the organelles both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have? *Hint: you should be able to list 4*
cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, & ribosomes
Animal Cells: no structure, randomly spread out, circular
Plant Cells: Brick like, structures, stacked together
What is the function of cytoplasm?
Maintains the cells shape and helps cell parts move
What is the difference between the cell wall and the cell membrane?
The cell wall provides structure for the cell, the cell membrane controls movement in and out of the cell
Name one scientist associated with cell theory *this is trivia, this is NOT actually on the test*
Robert Hooke or Rudolf Virchow.
What is the biggest difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic = Nucleus
Prokaryotic = No Nucleus
Why do plant cells have a cell wall and an animal cell does not?
The cell wall is needed because as the cells stack together they provide structure to the organism, as plants do not have bones.
