Animal Cells
Why do animal cells not have a cell wall?
A cell wall is meant for rigidity and stable structure. Animals need to be flexible for the active movement of their daily life.
What is the organelle that coverts the sun's energy into food?
The Chloroplast
What are the two main parts that a cell is split into?
The nucleus and the cytoplasm
What does Isotonic mean?
"Same strength"
What is Lionel Messi's jersey number

Instead of a cell wall, what do animal cells use for their main internal support?
Cytoskeleton
What is the chemical that Chloroplasts contain that makes plants green?
Chlorophyll
Prokaryotic cells also contain cytoplasm despite not having what?
A nucleus
What is the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic?
Hypertonic means "above strength" and causes water to leave. Hypotonic means "below strength" and pulls water into the cell.
How many rings does Michael Jordan have?
6
What does the Mitochondria do in a animal cell?
It converts chemical energy stored in food into compounds more convenient for the cell to use.
What do Eukaryotic cells contain in their nuclei?
DNA
What organelle is known as a protein builder that build proteins from DNA structure?
Ribosomes
What is Homeostasis?
The body's remarkable ability to maintain a stable, balanced internal environment despite changes in the external world.
What is Shaq's shoe size?
22
This organelle is known as the "Garbage disposal", a sac of digestive enzymes that break down waste and warn-out cell particles.
Lysosomes
This large, central organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste materials.
Vacuoles
Proteins from the rough ER go here, it modifies proteins and other molecules for storage in and out of the cell.
Golgi Apparatis
What is Osmosis?
Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
What year did Tom Brady officially retire?
2023
What are the organelles located near the nucleus that help organize cell division?
Centioles
This organelle is responsible for converting stored fats into sugars, particularly important in germinating seeds where sunlight is not yet available for photosynthesis.
Glyoxysome
What is an internal membrane system where lipid contents of the cell form?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The process in which molecules that cannot directly diffuse across the membrane pass through special protein channels.
Where did Jason Tatum go to college?
