Prokaryote vs Eukaryotes
A type of cell that does not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryote?
This organelle's main job is to build proteins.
What are ribosomes?
The rigid outer layer of a plant cell that provides support and protection.
What is the cell wall?
What tool can scientists use to study cells?
What is a microscope?
In Cell B, what organelle is K pointing towards?
What is the nucleus?
The cell type that includes plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
What is a eukaryote?
The "powerhouse" of the cell, where food is converted into usable energy (ATP) via cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
This organelle uses light energy to store chemical energy in the form of sugar via photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast?
This part of the cell theory states that all living things are made of these.
What are cells?
In Cell A, what organelle is A pointing towards?
What is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
An example of an organism that is a prokaryote.
What are bacteria?
This organelle is like the cell's post office, it modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport.
What is the Golgi apparatus
The large, central organelle in a plant cell that stores water, salt, and other materials.
What is the central vacuole?
This principle of the cell theory explains that cells come only from other living cells.
What is new cells are produced from existing cells (or life comes from life)?
In Cell A, what organelle is F pointing towards?
What is the mitochondria?
The primary difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell, as mentioned in the test.
What is a nucleus (or membrane-bound organelles)?
Known as the "stomach" of the cell, its main job is to break down wastes and old organelles.
What is a lysosome?
While both cells have small ones, a plant cell has a large, central one; this organelle stores water.
What is a vacuole?
This is considered the basic unit of structure and function in all living things.
What is a cell?
In Cell B, what organelle is N pointing towards?
What is the chloroplast?
This structure is common to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and it regulates what enters and leaves.
What is the cell membrane
The difference in function between the Rough ER and the Smooth ER.
What is the Rough ER transports proteins and the Smooth ER creates/detoxifies lipids.
Name two organelles you would find in a plant cell but not an animal cell.
What are the cell wall and the chloroplast (or large central vacuole)?
The three main points of the modern cell theory.
What are all living things are composed of cells?
What is cells are the basic units of living things?
What is new cells are produced from existing cells?
In Cell A, what organelle is B pointing towards?
What are the centrioles?
