100
Who was the first scientist to see the cell?
Robert Hooke
100
Job of the nucleus.
Control all of the cell's functions at one time.
100
This organelle is only found in the plant cell, and provides support for the cell, among other things.
Cell Wall.
100
What human organ is the nucleus most often compared to?
The Brain
200
What special scientific tool was needed to first see the cell?
The microscope
200
Name at least three things that the cell wall does for the plant cell.
Provides support. Keeps unwanted things out. Keeps "good" things in. Controls the flow of items in and out of the cell.
200
These organelles supply the energy for the cell.
Mitochondria
200
This organelle is often referred to as the storage tank.
The vacuole
200
Name 10 organelles found within the cell. You have 60 seconds. GO!!!
Lysosome--Ribosome--Cell Wall--Nucleus--Cell Membrane--Cytoplasm--Mitochondria--Golgi Bodies--Vacuole--Cholorplast--Endoplasmic Reticulum--Nuclear Membrane--Chromosomes
300
Why was the cell given its particular name?
Hooke thought that plant cells looked like the cells of monks inside the Monestaries.
300
What exactly do the chloroplasts do?
They take sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water and convert them into glucose (energy) for the plant.
300
Found beneath the Cell Wall of the plant cell, and on the outer edge of the animal cell.
Cell membrane
300
This organelle functions like the skin on you and I.
The cell membrane
400
What year was the cell first discovered? (+/- 50 years)
1665
400
What does the Ribosome produce and why?
Proteins for the mitochondria to convert into energy.
400
Excess water, food, and enzymes are stored here.
Vacuole
400
The garbage man of the cell.
Lysosome
500
Who was the Swiss scientist that first claimed that all living things were made of cells? He is also considered the father of microscopy.
Anton von Leeuwenhoek
500
The lysosomes use special enzymes to do what two things?
Break down larger molecules (of either food or waste) into smaller ones, and remove waste from the cell.
500
This is the jelly-like substance that supports the organelles within the cell.
Cytoplasm
500
This cell organelle packages up proteins to be "shipped" through the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
The Golgi Bodies
