Cell Organelles
This organelle controls the cell and contains DNA.
What is the nucleus?
Bacteria are an example of this type of cell. (eukaryotic or prokaryotic?)
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This organelle makes food for plant cells using sunlight.
What is the chloroplast?
Enzymes are a type of this biological molecule.
What are proteins?
This organelle produces energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondrion / mitochondria?
Plants and animals have this type of cell. (prokaryotic or eukaryotic)
What is a eukaryotic cell?
The cell membrane is made up of this type of molecule.
What are phospholipids?
This is the jelly-like fluid inside the cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
This part of an enzyme binds to the substrate.
What is the active site?
This organelle is the site of protein synthesis.
What is the ribosome?
These cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole.
What are plant cells?
This process moves molecules from high to low concentration without energy.
What is diffusion?
This organelle is a network of membranes that helps transport materials.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
Enzymes work best at this specific range of pH and temperature.
What are optimal conditions?
This organelle helps package and transport proteins.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
These cells do not have chloroplasts or a cell wall.
What are animal cells?
This process moves water across the membrane.
What is osmosis?
The smooth ER helps make these molecules, important for cell membranes.
What are lipids?
When temperature is too high, enzymes lose their shape in this process.
What is denaturation?
This organelle breaks down waste in the cell.
What is the lysosome?
Prokaryotic cells do not have this structure found in eukaryotic cells.
What is a nucleus?
This process requires energy to move molecules against the concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
The rough ER has these attached, making proteins.
What are ribosomes?
Increasing this can speed up enzyme activity until all active sites are full.
What is substrate concentration?
