Lesson 1: Structure and Function of Cells
The tool used to observe very small organisms
What is a microscope?
The tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell.
What are organelles?
This is the part of the cell responsible for what goes in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The events that result in one cell forming two daughter cells.
What is the cell cycle?
The structure that gives plant cells their shape and protects them but is not found in animal cells.
What is a cell wall?
The basic unit of structure and function in living things
What are cells?
The gel-like fluid that that fills the region between the cell membrane and organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
The two types of transport that allow things in and out of the cell.
This is first stage of the cell cycle when DNA is duplicated.
What is interphase?
This is required for active transport to happen.
What is energy?
The idea that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and all new cells are produced from existing cells.
What is Cell Theory?
The organelle that is responsible for storing water.
What is the vacuole?
These are the two types of passive transport.
What are diffusion and osmosis?
This is the stage when the sister chromatids are pulled apart.
What is anaphase?
This is the "warehouse" organelle that receives, packages, and sends out proteins.
What is the golgi apparatus?
The scientist that built the first microscope.
Who is Robert Hooke?
The organelle that stores genetic material.
What is the nucleus?
The movement of water across the cell membrane.
What is osmosis?
This is when the cell is pinched to form two cells.
What is cytokinesis?
These are types of active transport that bring in and take out large particles.
What are endocytosis and exocytosis?
The scientists that are credited with the development of cell theory.
Who are Schleidon and Schwann?
The two organelles that are responsible for creating energy for cells (hint: one is found in only a plant cell)
What are the chloroplast and mitochondria?
This quality allows allows the cell membrane to some but not all materials in and out.
What is selective permeability?
These are the four parts of mitosis.
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase?
This is what happens in metaphase.
What is the chromosomes lining up in the center of the cell?
