Cells & Living Things
What is the smallest unite that can be considered alive?
What is a cell?
What part of the cell forms the boundary controlling what enters and leaves the cell?
What is the cell membrane?
When scientists develop a model of a cell, they do this to help describe what aspect of the cell?
What is the function of the cell or how parts of the cell contribute to the whole?
What holds DNA, and controls the functions of Eurkaryotic cells?
What is Nucleus?
What is the area in which every organelle sits?
What is cytoplasm?
Name a living thing that is made of only one cell.
What is a unicellular organism (example: Amoeba, Bacteria)?
In plant cells, what structure helps the cell keep its shape and is found outside the cell membrane?
What is a the cell wall?
Why is the cell membrane important for the cell’s survival?
What is: It controls what enters and leaves the cell, maintaining the needed conditions inside the cell?
What is a gel-like fluid inside both the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell?
What is Cytoplasm?
The principal fulfills the role of what organelle?
What is nucleus?
All living things are made up of cells. True or False?
Which organelle is known as the “powerhouse” of the cell that produces energy?
What is mitochondria
Give one reason why a model (drawing, diagram) of a cell is useful in science class.
It helps visualize microscopic parts, show how the parts work together, make predictions, etc.?
What provides protective framework to both a bacterial cell and plant cell?
What organelle is not in the Plant Cell?
-Cell Wall
-Large Vacuole
-????
What is Lysosome?
If you looked at a rock and a leaf under a microscope, which one might you expect to find many cells in?
What is the leaf (because the leaf is living and composed of cells)?
Name a cell part that stores genetic information (in cells with a nucleus).
What is the nucleus?
What might happen if a cell’s mitochondria stopped working?
The cell would not have enough energy to carry out its functions properly?
What controls what enters and leaves in both a bacterial cell and eukaryotic cell?
What is cell membrane?
Hallways would be comparable to what organelle?
What is Endoplasmic reticulum?
Explain the difference between a multicellular organism and a unicellular organism.
What is: A unicellular organism has one cell; a multicellular organism has many different cells and often different types of cells?
Describe how the parts of the cell (for example: cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria) work together to help the cell function as a whole.
What is: The cell membrane controls what enters and exits, the nucleus directs the cell’s activities (stores information), the mitochondria make energy for doing work, etc.
A plant cell and an animal cell both have a cell membrane and nucleus. Name a cell part found only in plant cells (that helps with shape or energy) and explain how it contributes to the cell’s function.
What is: The cell wall (helps the cell keep shape/support) or the chloroplast (makes food through photosynthesis)?
Water is stored here.
What is vacuole?
The ____ holds DNA, and controls the functions of eukaryotic cells.
What is Nucleus
