Organelle Functions
Cells as a System
Plant vs. Animal Cells
Mystery Bag!
C'mon, gimme a challenge!
100
This organelle creates energy, and is frequently called the "powerhouse of the cell."
Mitochondria
100
This gas is passed from the mitochondria to the chloroplast
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
100
Is this picture of a plant or animal cell?
Animal cell
100
Which is larger: a cell, or an organelle?
An cell
100
A cell uses this molecule to store energy (must write FULL NAME, not just abbreviation)
Adenosine Triphosphate
200
This organelle contains genetic information, or DNA, of the cell.
Nucleus
200
These two organelles work together in a plant cell to turn sunlight into energy (MUST LIST BOTH!)
Mitochondria and Chloroplast
200
This organelle surrounds both plant and animal cells
Cell Membrane
200
This process is when light and carbon dioxide are turned into sugar
Photosynthesis
200
These are the 'building blocks' of proteins
Amino acids
300
This organelle uses sunlight to create sugar for plant cells.
Chloroplast
300
These two substances are passed from the chloroplast to the mitochondria (MUST LIST BOTH!)
Sugar and oxygen (O2)
300
This organelle is found only in plant cells, but is not present in all plant cells.
Chloroplast
300
This term describes a balance that all living things/cells need to maintain.
Homeostasis
300
These 4 bases are found in DNA, and used to code for amino acids/proteins (just first letters are fine)
Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine
400
This organelle could protect cells from things like viruses or bacteria.
Cell Membrane
400
Without this organelle, the chloroplast might make more or less sugar than is needed by the mitochondria.
Nucleus
400
This substance is required by the chloroplast, made by the mitochondria, and is not a gas
Water
400
This substance is found within chloroplasts, and helps photosynthesis to occur.
Chlorophyll
400
This molecule attaches amino acids together in a ribosome
Transfer RNA/tRNA
500
This organelle reads mRNA from the nucleus to create proteins
Ribosome
500
This organelle would help deliver substances like oxygen and sugar to where they are needed within a cell
Golgi Apparatus (or just Golgi)
500
This is an area of a plant in which we would not find chloroplasts
Roots
500
This organelle would store excess water and sugar made by the chloroplast
The vacuole
500
This protein functions to create a new bond between phosphate groups, using electrons to turn ADP into ATP
ATP Synthase
