Cell Basics
This then, Flexible layer controls what enters and leaves every cell.
Cell Membrane
This rigid structure outside the cell membrane gives plant cells extra support.
Cell Wall
This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell because it breaks down sugar to produce energy.
Mitochondria
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle.
Chloroplasts
What type of energy is stored in food?
Chemical energy
Light Energy
Sound Energy
Thermal Energy
Chemical energy
The name for any specialized structure inside a cell that performs a specific job
Organelles
Which cell type contains chloroplast: Plant, animal, or both?
Plant
This organelle captures sunlight to make food during photosynthesis.
Chloroplasts
State one way chloroplasts and mitochondria are related. (1 sentence)
Which system of the human body is responsible for transporting blood throughout the body?
A. Respiratory system
B. Digestive system
C. Circulatory system
D. Nervous system
Circulatory System
This structure holds a cell's DNA and directs its activities
Nucleus
Name one organelle found in both plant and animal cells that makes energy for the cell.
Mitochondria
Which organelle "controls the cell’s activity" and which "controls what moves in and out of the cell"?
Nucleus and cell membrane
Explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected in terms of energy flow.
Photosynthesis stores energy from sunlight in glucose; cellular respiration releases energy from glucose in mitochondria for cell activities
A person jumps straight up while standing on Earth. Why do they land in nearly the same spot instead of Earth rotating underneath them?
A. Gravity pulls them backward
B. They are already moving with Earth's rotation when they jump
C. The atmosphere stops Earth's rotation
D. Earth's rotation pauses when people jump
They are already moving with Earth's rotation when they jump
The jelly-like material that fulls a cell and holds organelles in place.
Cytoplasm
Explain briefly why plant cells often have a fixed rectangular shape while animal cells are more varied in shape. (Must be in a complete sentence)
Plant cells have cell walls that hold them in a fixed shape; animal cells lack cell walls so their shape can vary.
Use the word bank (cell membrane · function · cell wall · chloroplast · mitochondria · nucleus · cytoplasm · organelle) to fill: "Every ____ has a specific ____." Provide the two missing words.
organelle function
Describe how chloroplasts help plants use energy from the Sun.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll that captures sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen
Which planet in our solar system has the most confirmed moons?
A. Jupiter B. Saturn C. Neptune D. Uranus
Saturn — the confirmed moon count changes as astronomers discover and verify more moons.
What is Miss Divine's favorite organelle?
Must say " Power house of the cell, Mitochondria"
A) List two organelles that animal cells do NOT have which plant cells do. B) For one of those organelles, give its main function
A) Cell wall and chloroplasts. B) Cell wall: provides protection and support / gives rigidity.
Identification/Matching style: Provide the organelle that fits each clue: A) Selectively permeable boundary; B) Contains genetic material; C) Energy-producing organelle; D) Site of photosynthesis.
A) Cell membrane; B) Nucleus; C) Mitochondrion; D) Chloroplast
In plant cells, how are chloroplasts and mitochondria related? Then: Why are plant cells and animal cells shaped differently?
"Chloroplasts capture energy from sunlight to make glucose during photosynthesis. Mitochondria break down glucose to release energy the cell can use. Plant cells often have a rigid cell wall and large central vacuole that give them a regular shape; animal cells lack a cell wall and can take many shapes based on function and movement
If you could travel at the speed of light, approximately how long would it take you to travel from the Sun to Earth?
A. 8 seconds B. 8 minutes C. 8 hours D. 8 days
B. 8 minutes
Why? Sunlight takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth.
