Prokaryotic cells lack this structure, which holds the DNA in eukaryotic cells.
Nucleus
What controls what leaves and enters the cell?
Cell membrane
The powerhouse of the cell
What is A?
Eyepiece
A muscle cell needs a steady supply of energy to help the body move. Scientists discover that the cell cannot produce enough ATP, even though it receives enough oxygen and nutrients. Which organelle is most likely malfunctioning?
Mitochondria
Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have these small structures that build proteins.
Ribosomes
What organelle only makes proteins?
Ribosomes
What is the outermost layer of a plant cell that helps keep the cell rigid?
Cell Wall
What is E?
Light source
A plant receives enough sunlight and water, but its leaf cells cannot use light energy to make sugars. Without these sugars, the plant’s growth slows. Which organelle is most likely damaged?
Chloroplast
A bacterium (plural: bacteria) is a prokaryote, while an animal or plant is this type of organism.
Eukaryote
Which organelle stores water, food, and waste within a cell? (Acts like a vacuum)
Vacuole
Which organelle of the plant cell collects sunlight to make glucose?
chloroplasts
What is G?
Revolving Nose Piece
A cell makes proteins that must be delivered to other parts of the body. The proteins are produced correctly, but they are not properly sorted and packaged for delivery. Which organelle is most likely malfunctioning?
Golgi apparatus
Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotes contain these specialized compartments, including mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus
Membrane-bound organelles
This organelle is called "rough" due to it having tons of ribosomes on its surface
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
What organelle breaks down (digests) worn-out cell parts?
Lysosome
What is part C
Arm
Scientists observe a cell that is filling up with worn-out cell parts and waste. The cell cannot break down these materials, so they continue to accumulate and interfere with its activities. Which organelle is most likely malfunctioning?
Lysosome
A scientist observes a small cell with ribosomes, a cell membrane, and DNA, but no nucleus.What cell type is this and why?
prokaryotic cell because it lacks a nucleus
Jelly-like material that fills the space between cell organelles.
Cytoplasm
Which organelle makes lipids?
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
What is part J?
Stage
Leigh’s disease is a rare disorder that affects the brain and muscles. It usually begins in infancy or early childhood. The disease happens when the cells in the body cannot make enough energy. Every cell needs energy to work properly, just like a phone needs a charged battery. Because of this, the brain and muscles—organs that need a lot of energy—start to have problems. Children with Leigh’s disease may have trouble moving, breathing, or eating. Doctors and scientists are studying the disease to better understand it and to find ways to help those who have it.
What is the main problem in Leigh’s disease?
The body cannot make enough energy
