Life is Cellular
All cells have these within them, what are the components called?
Organelles
Jelly like substance that fills the cell and holds all organelles in place
Cytoplasm
Sperm cell
Carry DNA to the egg, and thus deliver genetic material
I am waiting for a signal to become another type of cell
A stem cell
I carry oxygen to tissue and organs
Red blood cells
Thin layer that surrounds the cell and controls what comes in and out of cell
Cell membrane
Small sac filled with enzymes responsible for cleaning cell up
Lysosome
Egg cells
The cell needed for an embryo to form and for fertilisation to occur
Undifferentiated cell
I give the plant cell rigidity by acting like a phone case
Cell wall
This type of cell has its DNA protected in a nucleus
Eukaryotic cell
Capturing sunlight and converting it to food is what I do best. Site of photosynthesis in plants
Chloroplasts
Pluripotent stem cell
I am a type of stem cell that can become any type of cell.
Embryonic stem cell
I am a stem cell that can only differentiate into a finite amount of things
Adult stem cell
Tiny structures that make proteins the cell needs to function and grow
Ribosomes
Site of energy creation in cell, powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
Multipotent stem cells
A stem cell capable of limited differentiation into a limited amount different cells
What are the three key features of stem cells?
Differentiation, self-renewal and repair/regeneration
I am formed in males and transmit genetic information
Sperm cell or male gamete
Bacteria is an example of this type of cell. A cell without a nucleus
Prokaryotic cell
Storage of water and nutrients in plant cells, and prevents self-toxicity
Vacuole
Haemoglobin
Protein responsible for binding oxygen found on red blood cells
A type of therapy used to replace nerve cells if they are damaged
Stem cell therapy
I am found stacked tightly and neatly on top of one another
Chloroplasts
