Cell-ebrity Organelles
What is the cell wall?
Without me -which we breathe in- cellular respiration is impossible.
What is oxygen.
You'll find DNA hiding out in this part of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
The long scientific name for RNA.
What is ribonucleic acid?
We keep it simple. The cell cycle only has these two phases.
What is interphase and mitosis.
I am the ooey gooey jelly-like substance in the cell.
What is cytoplasm?
We love to eat it, cellular respiration breaks it down.
What is glucose?
I'm so twisted/ Name the shape of the DNA molecule.
What is a double helix?
I'm a loner. Unlike DNA, RNA usually has this many strands.
What is one single strand?
Don't forget to divide! But before a cell divides, it must copy this important molecule to send out all the right instructions.
What is DNA?
We are responsible for performing photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
I've got the power! You'll find me making energy by being the location where most of the cellular respiration takes place.
What is the mitochondria?
The letters of DNA -A, T, C, G- are this part of a DNA nucleotide.
What are bases or nitrogen bases?
The USPS has nothing on me! I am a type of RNA that carries the instructions from DNA to the outside of the nucleus.
What is mRNA?
Parting is such sweet sorrow! In this stage of mitosis, chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
The cellular jack of all trades, I transport molecules, make lipids, package proteins and break down drugs.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
I am the endgame -the purpose of cellular respiration is to make this kind of energy for the cell.
What is ATP? (energy)
The encyclopedia volumes of DNA. Found wound up in the nucleus.
What are chromosomes.
I can't do it alone! mRNA has to leave the nucleus to find these tiny "machines" that build proteins.
What are ribosomes?
Line em up! During metaphase we line up in the middle of the cell.
What are chromosomes?
Yummy yummy, my job is intracellular digestion.
What are lysosomes?
If you get locked in a box, I'll eventually end you! Cellular respiration gives off this gas.
What is carbon dioxide?
There are 22 pairs of this type of chromosome in human DNA.
What are autosomes?
I like to be just a "little" different. One part of RNA's nucleotide structure isn't the same as DNA's.
What is the pentose?
Division is never good...unless you're a cell during mitosis! This process divides the cytoplasm near the end of mitosis.
What is cytokinesis?
