Parts of a Cell
This part of the cell contains DNA and controls cell functions.
What is the nucleus?
True or False plant cells have addition to the cell membrane
True! Plant cells have a cell wall in addition to a cell membrane
This is the smallest unit of life in all living organisms.
What is a cell?
The small black dots are
Ribosomes
This term refers to the outer layer of a plant cell that gives it structure and support.
What is the cell wall?
This gel-like substance inside the cell holds the organelles in place. Also, chemical reactions take place there.
What is the cytoplasm?
True or false animal cells also have addition to the cell membrane
False, animal cells have only a cell membrane
What are the 7 characteristics of life?
Cellular organization, the ability to reproduce, growth & development, energy use, homeostasis, response to their environment, and the ability to adapt.
The big round circle in the center is
Nucleus
This organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste in plant cells.
What is the vacuole?
Known as the "powerhouse" of the cell, this organelle produces energy.
What is the mitochondria?
What do Plant cells do with their cell wall?
Plants use cell walls to provide structure to the plant
Two or more tissues that work together to perform a specific function form this.
What is an organ?
A round oval shape is
Mitochondria
What is a Lysosome?
It breaks down unneeded proteins and damaged cell parts for recycling
This part of the cell acts as a protective barrier, controlling what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
What do animal cells do?
They mainly involved in the transportation of water, oxygen and other soluble substances through their cell membranes.
What is a Organelle?
It is a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell
A thick colorless solution that fills in each cell is
Cytoplasm
The double-layered structure that surrounds the cell nucleus and contains pores.
What is the nuclear membrane?
What is Ribosomes?
Read messages from the nucleus to build proteins
What do Plant cells do?
Plant cells can harness the energy of the Sun, store it in the chemical bonds of sugar and use it later.
This is a complete living thing that can perform all life processes on its own.
What is an organism?
A large lace-like sac made up of a network of flat sacs, tubules, and empty spaces
Endoplasmic Reticulum
What is a Golgi apparatus?
It gets packages of proteins from the ER and moves them through a series of stacked compartments and adds tags to proteins based on where they need to go in the cell
