100

Rigid layer that provides protection and structure for plant cells.

Cell Wall 

100

Found only in PLANT cells.  Its purpose is photosynthesis.

Chloroplast.

100

Complex organelles that convert energy from food into a form that the cell can use - the site of cellular respiration. 

Mitochondria

100

This is the recycling center of the cell. They digest foreign bacteria that invade the cell, rid the cell of toxic substances, and recycle worn-out cell components.


Lysosomes

100

Fluid that fills up the space inside the cell.

Cytoplasm

200

Protective phospholipid layer ALL cells have

Cell Membrane 

200

This type of cell has a cell wall, a large central vacuole and chloroplasts

plant cell

200

How does the shape of the plant cell differ from an animal cell?

Plant cells have a more rigid rectangular shape.

200

Makes Protein; ALL cells have these


Ribosome 

200

Serves as the cell’s command center, sending directions to the cell to grow, mature, divide, or die. It also houses DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the cell’s hereditary material.

Nucleus

300

Stores food, water, and waste; extra large in plant cells


Vacuole 

300

Tail like structure that functions in movement.

Cilia or Flagella 

300

Packages molecules processed by the endoplasmic reticulum to be transported out of the cell.


Golgi Apparatus

300

A tool used to view cells.

Microscope

300

____________freely floats in the nucleus until cell reproduction begins, then the names changes to ____________. (2 answers in the correct order)


Chromatin, chromosomes. 

400

a web of proteins that gives shape and support to the cell, also provides a "highway system" for moving materials

Microtubules or Cytoskeleton

400

Does not have ribosomes on it; Makes and stores lipids and transports them

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum 

400

What structures are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells?       

cell wall and chloroplasts 

400

These are tightly coiled pieces of DNA found in the nucleus of the cell during cell division. 

Chromosomes

400

This green pigment that absorbs solar energy. You can find it in the chloroplasts. The image below is not a chloroplast, but performs a similar function. 

Chlorophyll

500

What are we NOT allowed to call the mitochondria?

The "powerhouse of the cell"

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY is more accurate and creative....everyone says that other thing:(

500

What organelle is this? 

Centrioles

500

This organelle transports cell materials from one place to another - the Uber drivers of the cell:)

Vesicles

500

This part of the cell is not actually an organelle, but is a jelly-like substance that supports the organelles. 

Cytoplasm

cyto - "cell"

-plasm - "something molded or formed", "the substance of a cell"

500

Name 5 cell organelles shared by plants and animals. 

cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, and vacuoles
