A
This is what gives plant cells their green pigmentation and is located within the chloroplasts.
What is chlorophyll?
This is the outer layer of an animal cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell, generating energy and housing DNA.
What is the mitochondria?
This is what we use to explain how cells work and why they are important.
What is cell theory?
This is used to explain what happens every time in nature and will not be disproven.
What is a law?
This is the rigid outer layer of the cell that gives the plant cell it's shape and is exclusive to plant cells.
What is the cell wall? Remember, this is made of cellulose.
This is an organelle unique to animal cells that houses spindle fibers and is formed to aid in cell division.
What is the centrosome?
Remember, the spindle fibers are emitted to attach to the centromere of tetrads.
This is the garbage truck of the cell, with the purpose of digesting waste.
What is the lysosome?
This is what scientists use to explain what they believe happens in nature but needs more time to be proven.
What is a theory?
Remember, theories can be either proven or disproven; some theories cannot be proven or disproven such as cell theory.
This is how cells repair and replace themselves over time.
What is divide? (Cellular division)
This is a large storage sac in plant cells that holds water, nutrients, or waste.
What is the vacuole? Remember, this is also a small storage sac in animal cells that aids in storing and excreting waste.
This is the purpose of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in an animal cell.
What is to aid in cell detoxification?
This organelle is the "brain" or control center of the cell housing DNA.
What is the nucleus?
This is the jelly-like substance found in cells.
What is cytoplasm?
This is the smallest unit of life.
What are cells? Remember, atoms are the smallest units of physical matter and make up everything.
This is the organelle that is unique to plant cells and is the location of the process of photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
This organelle is where proteins are made.
What is the ribosome?
Plant and animal cells both fall into this classification of cell.
What are eukaryotes (eukaryotic cells)?
Remember, this is because they both have organelles.
This is the term for multicellular organisms.
What are eukaryotes? (Eukaryotic Cells)
These are the small structures within the cell that perform complex activities to keep the cell alive.
What are organelles?
Plant cells produce their own food, so they fall under this classification.
What is autotrophic?
Cell Theory is based around this many characteristics or concepts.
What are 3?
All Living Things Are Made up of One or More Cells
The Cell is the Basic Unit of Life
All Cells Come from Pre-Existing Cells
This is where DNA is located in prokaryotic cells.
What is in the cytoplasm?
This classification of cells does not possess organelles.
What are prokaryotes?
This is the term used to refer to single-celled organisms.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
