Cell Discovery
Like the managers office in a factory
What is the nucleus?
This fills the space inside a cell and holds the organelles together. It is semi-fluid and is composed of water and dissolved materials.
What is cytoplasm?
What is the difference between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell?
Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus, eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
Like the fencing outside the factory.
What is the cell wall?
A protective barrier that controls movement in and out of the cell.
What cell membrane?
A type of cell with a cell wall made of cellulose.
What is plant cell?
What is like the lockers in a factory.
What is a vacuole?
What does semi permeable mean and which organelle is semi permeable.
Allows some things in and out, cell membrane.
This scientist found that cells come from pre-existing cells.
What is Virchow?
Is like the boiler/mechanical room in a factory?
What is the mitochondria?
This organelle is a series of interconnected passageways. Proteins and lipids are synthesized (put together/packaged) here also.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
Turns sun energy into food (glucose)
What is a chloroplast?
What four cell organelles do all cells have? (Bacterial, Plant, and Animal)
What is cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA, and cell membrane?
Like the shipping area of the factory.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
These are made by the nucleolus and their function is to follow DNA instructions to make proteins.
What are ribosomes?
The three things that plants cells have that animal cells do not.
1. Plant cells have cell walls. 2. Plant cells have chloroplasts 3. Plant cells have large central vacuoles.
Process where glucose and oxygen are turned into carbon dioxide and water.
What is cellular respiration?
