What is....
100

The DNA is in the nucleus of this type of cell.

Eukaryotes
100

The protective, semi-permeable layer protecting the cell.

Cell membrane

100

Nucleus

The brain of the cell. 

Directs the cell's activities.

Contains the genetic material (DNA, Chromosomes)


100

If the cell were a school, this organelle would be the principal.

Nucleus 

100

What is the organelle that transports/modifies proteins? 

The Endoplasmic Reticulum

200

This type of cell has no membrane-bound organelles.

Prokaryotes

200

This organelle traps sunlight for photosynthesis.

Chloroplasts

200

Cell Wall

The rigid outer layer of the PLANT cell that provides support to the cell. 

200

If the cell were a school the lysosome would be...

The janitor, the recycling bin.

200

What is the largest organelle in the plant cell? 

The vacuole

300

In this type of cell the DNA is in the cytoplasm.

Prokaryotes

300

This is where proteins are made.

Ribosomes

300

Vacuoles

Stores food, water, wastes, etc. 

Much larger in plants. 

300

If the cell were a school, the cell membrane would be represented by?

The walls, fences, etc around the school

300

What is one part of the cell theory?

1. All organisms are made up of one or more cells.

2. The cell is the basic unit of life.

3. All cells come from existing cells.

400

Bacteria are which type of cell?

Prokaryote 

400

Tiny ctructures inside the cell that aid in directing the cell's movement. 

Cytoskeleton

400

Mitochondria (something other than "powerhouse"

Convert food into energy that the cell can use. 

Cellular Respiration

400

If the cell were a city, the Post Office would represent?

The Golgi Apparatus 

400

What is the function of ribosomes?

To make proteins

500

Ribosomes are in this/these type of cell.

Both Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes

500

This is where ribosomes are made.

The nucleolus 

500

Golgi apparatus

Make, process, and package proteins.

Receives proteins and materials from the Endoplasmic Reticulum. 

500

If the cell were a school, the school busses would represent what?

Vesicle 


500

What is the difference between the smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum?

The rough ER has ribosomes and makes and delivers proteins.

The smooth ER does not have ribosomes and it makes fats and lipids.
