Discoveries
These statements unify all of the discoveries made by multiple scientists.
What is the cell theory?
This type of cell does NOT have a nucleus.
What is a cell wall?
Plant cells are able to perform photosynthesis because they contain this important structure.
What is a chloroplast?
This scientist is credited with improving the microscope and making cell discovery possible.
Who is Leeuwenhoek?
This scientist was the first to discover cells
This type of cell DOES have a nucleus.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
Animals rely on this organelle to break down food for energy.
What is mitochondria?
Plant cells have this exterior boundary that allows the cells to take in water without bursting and maintain its rigid shape.
What is a cell wall?
Just like in the human body, this structure provides support for the cell and prevents it from collapsing.
What is the cytoskeleton?
According to the cell theory, all cells come from ____
What is existing cells?
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are similar because they both have this boundary in common.
What is the cell/plasma membrane?
This specific type of animal cell allows animals to move about, lift objects, pump blood and breathe.
What is a muscle cell?
Plants need a large size of this organelle to store water because plants cannot just go and get water whenever.
What is a vacuole?
If eukaryotic cells are like a mansion, prokaryotic cells would be like this ______.
What is an apartment?
Without improvements of this invention, many discoveries about cells may never have been made.
What is the microscope?
This organelle is more complex and therefore can perform more functions than its counterpart.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
These organelles allow animal cells to digest old, damaged cell parts and destroy disease-causing bacteria that may be trying to invade the cell's nucleus.
What is a lysosome?
The chloroplasts are designed to absorb this energy source in order to create food.
What is sunlight?
Most people think of this prokaryote as a bad thing that causes diseases, but it has more positive functions than bad ones.
What is bacteria?
What is protein?
A scientist is looking under the microscope at an unlabeled slide. She notices that the cell has a cell wall, cell membrane, ribosomes, and DNA floating around in the cytoplasm. This cell name should be used to label the slide.
What is prokaryotic cell (bacteria)?
Since animals cells do not have chloroplasts they are unable to perform this process.
What is photosynthesis?
Plant cells can be identified under the microscope by this shape that differentiates them from other types of cells.
What is square/rectangle?
One common structure that is found on some prokaryotic cells like bacteria and animal cells like sperm is a tail-like structure known as this.
What is flagella?
