Prokaryotes are unicellular, so they are...
hint* - are they the most complex thing ever
very basic
true or false
plant cells have more organelles than animal cells.
false
is the animal cells cell membrane flexible or rigid and tough?
flexible
small cylindrical structures that form spindle fibers during cell division.
centrioles
what is the difference between flagella and cilia?
flagella are whip-like tails that propel the cell, and cilia are small hairs that help to move the cell.
Prokaryotes are in the monera kingdom, so what two categories are they in?
archaea and bacteria
what is the cell wall?
protective covering outside of the cell membrane
stack of flat membrane-covered sacs that sort and package chemicals for export
web of long tubes and fibers that are made of proteins, and help maintain the shape of animal cells.
cytoskeleton
true or false
some unicellular organisms can't move and rely on water to move them.
true
What is something eukaryotes have that prokaryotes don't?
a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
what is the central vacuole?
holds water, food, and waste
where can the ER be found inside the cell
connected to the nucleus
digestive enzymes are released into a bubble that breaks food down.
food vacuole
is the eye-spot in the organism an actual eye?
no, it can only sense where light is
what are three examples of the membrane-bound organelles that eukaryotes have?
mitochondira, chrloroplasts, lysosomes
Does the central vacuole determine the shape of the cell? Why if it does?
yes, it takes up so much space inside of the cell
The nucleus stores genetic information in the cell, but what is its second job?
controls all cellular activity
small organelles that are free-floating in the cytoplasm and some are attached to the ER. responsible for making proteins.
ribosome
what organ in the human body performs like the contractile vacuole
the bladder
what do eukaryotic cells perform during cell division
mitosis and meosis
what are chloroplasts responsible for?
perform photosynthesis for food and energy
what does the mitochondria do?
store energy, so the cell can perform life functions
contain piles of flat discs called grana; are responsible for photosynthesis
chloroplasts
what does the oral groove do?
acts as the mouth to get food for the cell.
