Cell me all about it!
Riddle Me This
100
This organelle is essential in a plant cell. It has a rigid outer layer that that protects the cell and helps it stand up.
Cell wall
100

What is the organelle that consists of tubes and membranes that twist through the cell, forming tunnels.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

100
This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells. They are the powerhouses of the cell. They are responsible for making carbon dioxide, water, and lots of energy.
Mitochondria
100

The cell theory is made of 3 parts, what are they?

All living things have cells, cells are the smallest living unit, cells come from other cells, etc.

I am a real powerhouse, that's plan to see, I break down food into energy. 

mitochondria

200
This organelle takes in sunlight in a plant cell and aids in photosynthesis.
chloroplasts
200

This organelle is found only in plant cells. It aids in cell division.

Centrioles

Daily Double: Explain the difference between the vacuoles in plant and animal cells.
Plant cells have one large vacuole, while animal cells have many small vacuoles.
200

Explain to me the difference between the rough ER and the smooth ER.

Rough has ribosomes and created proteins, Smooth does not and creates lipids.

I'm full of holes, flexible and thin, I control what comes out and what goes in. 

cell membrane

DAILY DOUBLE: What is responsible for giving the plant cell its color, and in what organelle is this pigment found?
chlorophyll, found in cholorplasts
300

This organelle has one of the most important functions in a cell. It holds DNA which is what makes you have the traits you have.

Nucleus

300
This organelle is often found in animal cells, but seldom found in plant cells. It is used to break down food and nutrients, as well as old cell parts.
Lysosomes
300

This is what makes the rough ER "rough". 

Ribosomes

300

Proteins are made here, even though I'm quite small. You can find me in the cytoplasm or attached to an ER wall.

Ribosomes

Explain the role of the vacuole in a plant cell.
The vacuole stores water, food, and waste. When it is full it keeps the plant standing upright, when it is not the plant may wilt.
400
Explain the job of the cytoplasm.
Cytoplasm helps hold the floating organelles in place.
400
Explain the difference in the external structure of plants and animal cells. Double Points: What is responsible for the difference?
plant cells are strong and stand upright, animal cells do not have a firm outer layer enabling their structure to move freely. Cell Walls are responsible.
400
Tell me about the function of ribosomes and both places they can be found.
Ribosomes make proteins. They are found on the Rough ER and scattered throughout the cell.
400

Since I contain many enzymes I can digest an injured cell, and can break down molecules into a smaller one as well. 

Lysosome

How is the food making process different in plant than in animal cells? What organelle is part of this process?

Plant cells have chloroplasts to help make their food.

500
Explain how the Golgi Apparatus functions.
The Golgi apparatus works in the cells like a mailman. It packages proteins and changes them so they are ready to leave the cell.
500
What part of an animal cell is attached externally and aids in its ability to move?
Flagella
500
What type of cells may need many mitochondrion due to their need for lots of energy?
Muscle cells
500

Found only in plant cells, I'm green as can be. I make food for the plan using the suns energy.
