Types of Cells
What is plant cell
This organelle compares to a door or window
Cell Membrane
This fills the space inside a cell. It is a gel-like fluid
What is cytoplasm?
This organelle provides the cell with the energy (ATP) it needs to perform its functions and activities.
What is the mitochondria?
What equipment you use to look at cells
What is a microscope
This organelle compares to a Fed Ex or Amazon truck or a mailman
What is Golgi Body?
This organelle directs cell processes by providing DNA instructions.
What is the nucleus?
This is an organelle found only in plant cells that helps provide the structure of the cell
What is cell wall?
This type of cell is round or irregular shape
What is animal cells
This organelle compares to a fuel oil/gas storage
What is a vacuole?
This organelle serves to "pack and ship" materials in and around the cell
What is the Golgi body
This organelle digests worn out cell parts and also plays a role to clean up wastes
What is a lysosome?
This cell type has no nucleus and no membrane bound organelles. Bacteria are the only example of this cell type.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This organelle compares to a chef or a BBQ grill
What are ribosomes?
This organelle is a series of connected passageways to transport materials in and around the cell
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
This type of cell includes animal and plant cells
What is eukarytotic
This organelle compares to solar panels
What is chloroplast
This type of cell is round and flexible
What are animal cells
What is the difference between the shape and size of animal and plant cells?
Animal cells are smaller and round; Plant cells are larger and boxy or square
