Plant cell
A grass cell was standing in a meadow when the wind came. Afraid of being blown to bits, the grass cell created what to help it maintain its structure?
Cell wall
A cat cell had just received a shipment of food energy. At first, the cell cheered but then they realized that all this new energy could not be used in its original form. All the organelles moved away in sadness knowing without energy they would not make it. Who came to the rescue and transformed the food energy into more usable energy for the cell?
A: The Mitochondria
All of the organelles have been created, but they ran into a big problem. The organelles could not move and function properly by themselves. They need a fluid that would allow them to operate freely and function properly while being held in place. What gel-like fluid did the cell make?
A: Cytoplasm
How long does it take for you to shed and regrow all of your skin cells?
A: 27 days
The meeting discussing how photosynthesis worked, had just ended. When the nucleus got back to its office it realized that none of the organelles had the skill to perform this nearly impossible task. They searched far and wide for the right organelle. Who did they hire?
A: Chloroplast
One day, the cell was working hard. The cell needed to transport proteins to the Golgi apparatus, but it couldn't reach it or store the proteins. The cell built what to help it transport proteins from place to place?
A: Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The cell had just been created, but it felt lifeless and stuck without the leadership it needed to function properly. Who came to boss around all the organelles so that they stayed on track?
A: Nucleus
How much DNA is stored in one cell?
A: About 1 meter
The Ribosomes were finally producing enough proteins for the cell, but they had no way to move them to the other organelles. What did it create to help move proteins around?
A: Vesicle
The cell had a problem! It was producing proteins and staying on track, but the waste it produced from making things was building up by the second. The cell desperately needed help, but only one organelle could save the day… WHO IS IT?
Lysosomes
Once upon a time, virus entered the cell. The cell was defenseless. It did not know how to produce enough antibodies to battle the virus, So it created an organelle to make more antibodies to fight this virus. What was it?
A: Ribosome
What is the largest known cell?
A: An unfertilized ostrich egg cell
The plant cell had just been created, but it had no way to sustain itself without energy. On the brink of dying the plant cells noticed that they might be able to make energy with sunlight, so they created a chloroplast to help it turn sunlight into energy. What is this process called?
A: Photosynthesis
One very productive day the mitochondria made so much energy, so much that they couldn't use all of it. This had never happened before, the cell didn’t know how to store all this extra energy. The nucleus came up with a type of molecule in the cell that would help it store its extra energy. What was that?
A: Lipid
One day a very dangerous virus came into the cell. The Ribosomes were instructed to make a fragile antibody. Once they were all made the cells realized that the trip through the cytoplasm could damage the antibodies. What did they create to create a safe package for the antibodies?
A: The Golgi Body
What is the hidden power of the lysosomes?
A: they can self-destruct the cell
The Cell was now functioning properly, it was making enough proteins and antibodies through the process of photosynthesis, but this meant that all of the water and salt that was needed to make sugar was cluttering up the cell making it hard for organelles to work in. What special organelle did the plant cell create?
A: Large Vacuole
The Nucleus had a big problem. It knew how to do everything with its access to DNA, but it couldn’t reach the other organelles to tell them what to do. The Nucleus needed help! Who stepped in to do the work?
Messenger RNA
Once upon a time, the cell wandered around freely. When it wasn’t boxed in, it wasn’t protected from things that weren’t supposed to be inside it. Soon, it realized it needed to regulate what came in and out of it and keep it in place. What did it create?
A: Cell Membrane
How many of your cells died while you were reading this sentence?
A: 25,000,000
