Organelles
What organelle controls the cell’s activities?
Nucleus
Name three types of cells we’ve studied.
Animal, Plant and Fungal cells
What is the function of the cell membrane?
Controls what enters and exits the cell
What tool do we use to see cells?
Microscopes
Nucleus, Cell Wall, Cytoplasm – which doesn’t belong?
Cell Wall (not in animal cells)
Which organelle is known as the "powerhouse" of the cell?
Mitochondria
What extra structure do plant cells have that animal cells do not?
Cell walls and chloroplasts
What does the cytoplasm do?
Holds organelles and allows chemical reactions
Who is credited with first discovering cells?
Robert Hooke
Ribosome, Mitochondria, Chloroplast – which doesn’t belong?
Chloroplast (not in animal or fungal cells)
Which organelle helps make proteins?
Ribosome
True or False: Fungal cells have chloroplasts.
False
What is the function of the vacuole?
Stores water, nutrients, or waste
What part of the microscope do you look through?
Eyepiece lens
Cell membrane, Vacuole, Eyepiece lens – which doesn’t belong?
Eyepiece lens - not part of a cell
Which organelle stores water in plant cells?
Vacuole
Which cell type has a regular, rectangular shape?
Plant cell
What is the role of the Nucleus?
Contains the cells DNA - control centre of the cell.
What’s one rule for using a microscope safely?
Start on low power / Carry with two hands / Don’t use coarse focus on high power
Vacuole, Mitochondria, Microscope – which one doesn’t belong?
Microscope – it's not an organelle; it's a tool used to observe cells
What organelle is only found in plant cells and helps with photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
Which three features are found in plant, animal, and fungal cells?
Nucleus, Cytoplasm and Cell membrane
Which organelle makes proteins in the cell?
What is one main idea of the Cell Theory?
All living things are made of cells / Cells are the basic unit of life / All cells come from pre-existing cells
Chloroplast, Nucleus, Cell Membrane – which one is not found in animal cells?
Chloroplast – only found in plant cells.
