Cell Structure
This structure surrounds the cell, providing both protection and shape.
What is the cell membrane?
This organelles is the control center of the cell, repsonsible for storing and transmitting genetic information.
What is the nucleus?
Animal cells tend to have this kind of shape, whereas plant cells are more rectangular or boxy.
What is the irregular shape of animal cells?
This term refers to the basic unit of life.
What is a cell?
This principle of cell theory states that the cell is the basic unit of life.
What is cell theory?
This rigid outer layer is found only in plant cells, providing structure and support.
What is the cell wall?
This organelle controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Plant cells have this rigid structure that gives them shape and support, which animal cells lack.
What is the cell wall?
The human body is made up of over 37 trillion of these!
What are cells?
This scientist discovered cells in 1665 using a cork under a microscope.
Who is Robert Hooke?
This large organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste in plant cells and is usually the largest part of the cell.
What is the central vacuole?
This organelle is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion or internal use.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This organelle found in plant cells is responsible for photosynthesis, which animal cells do not have.
What is chloroplast?
Chloroplasts in plant cells carry out this process, allowing plants to produce food.
What is photosynthesis?
Who is Theodor Schwann?
This part of the cell holds genetic material in both plant and animal cells.
What is the nucleus?
This network of protein filaments maintains the cell's shape and is involved in cell movement.
What is cytoskeleton?
This organelles is larger in plant cells than animal cells and store water, nutrients, and waste.
What is central vacuole?
This scientist is famous for discovering and naming cells.
Who is Robert Hooke?
This scientist designed the first-ever simple microscope.
Who is Anton van Leewenhoek?
This organelle is found only in plant cells and is where photosynthesis occurs.
What is chloroplasts?
This organelle contains digestive enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
What are lysosomes?
Animal cells have these small structures that help them move, while plant cells do not.
What is cilia or flagella?
This is the process by which cells divide to create two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
The statement "all existing cells arise from pre-existing cells" was proposed by this scientist.
Who is Rudolf Virchow?
