Plants vs Animal Cells
The organelle that plants contain to carry out photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast?
The number of types of macromolecular fibres in the cytoskeleton.
What is three?
The main function or purpose of cilia and flagella.
What is movement or locomotion?
These are suspended within the cytoplasm.
What are organelles?
The site in the cell of where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is produced.
What is the nucleolus?
This type of cell contains a large vacuole known as a central vacuole.
What are plant cells?
A function of the cytoskeleton.
What is maintaining cell shape? OR What is helps to move the cell and organelles? OR What is helps in cell division?
This organelle is numerous, short and present in the respiratory system.
What are cilia?
Process by which cell takes in molecules dissolved in liquid, producing a vesicle in the cytoplasm.
What is pinocytosis?
Two places you’ll find ribosomes in the cell.
What are the cytoplasm and rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The outer layer of a plant cell that provides rigidity and contains cellulose.
What is a cell wall?
The type of cytoskeleton fibre that plays a role in cell division (mitosis).
What is microtubules?
The extension on sperm cells that allows them to ‘swim.’
What is a flagellum?
Measurement that represents how much space the cell takes up.
What is volume?
The number of subunits in a ribosome.
What is two?
The type of vesicle containing digestive enzymes that is only found in animal cells.
What is a lysosome?
The type of cytoskeleton fibre that forms cell-to-cell junctions.
What is intermediate filaments?
Cilia and flagella extend from this part of the cell.
What is the cell or plasma membrane?
Site of protein synthesis within the cytoplasm.
What are ribosomes?
Several ribosomes associated simultaneously with a single mRNA molecule.
What are polyribosomes?
Hairlike projections for cell movement found mostly in animal cells.
What are cilia and flagella?
Also known as the microtubule organizing center (MTOC).
What is a centrosome?
The type of macromolecular fibre that cilia and flagella are made of.
What are microtubules?
A cellular process that takes place partly in the cytoplasm.
What is cellular respiration? OR What is protein synthesis?
The category of biomolecules that RNA is part of.
What is a nucleic acid?
