Functions
What is a thin, flexible barrier around the cell that decides what can come in and what can go out?
What is the cell membrane
What is the organelle that is a ball with nuclear pores on it? It stores the cell's genetic material in it.
What is nucleus
What is the largest singular cell?
Ostrich egg
What is the function of ribosomes?
They make proteins.
What is the gel that all the cell's organelles float around in called?
What is the Cytoplasm
What are the small particles that make proteins?
What are ribosomes
What part of a plant cell makes the plant green?
Chloroplast which holds the chlorophyll.
What is the organelle that looks as if it has stacks of coins in it?
Chloroplast
Chloroplasts are located in plant cells to enable them to make sugar from sunlight. What organelles allows them to change the sugar into a form of energy the cells can use?
Mitochondria
What is the small dense region in the middle of the nucleus that makes ribosomes?
What is nucleolus
What is the main difference between plant and animal cells?
The plant cell has a cell wall, LARGE vacuole, and chloroplasts.
What is the function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
To package and ship things OUT of the cells. (EXIT ER)
What is the organelle that is a crunchy layer that helps the plant cell to maintain its shape?
Cell Wall
What is the small organelle that is filled with digestive acids/enzymes?
What is lysosomes?
The genetic material visible within the nucleus is found in what type of cell
What is both plant and animal
What is the organelle that looks like a rollercoaster that is attached to the nucleus?
Endoplasmic reticulum
What cell organelle uses energy (sugar) from food to make ATP energy that the cell can use to power growth, development, movement.
What is the Mitochondria
Why do plant cells need such large vacuoles and animal cells do not?
Plant cells have to store as much water as they can because they can't go fix them something to drink. They must store as much as they can when it rains because they don't know when it may rain next.
What organelle looks like the ER, but is not attached to the nucleus? It packages and ships things to other parts of the cell.
What is the golgi apparatus/golgi complex, or golgi bodies.
