Cells Basics
The smallest unit of life.
What is a cell?
The "control center" of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
DNA stands for this
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
RNA stands for this.
What is ribonucleic acid?
The cell structure protects and supports plant cells but not animal cells.
What is the cell wall?
The two main types of cells.
What are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
The shape of DNA.
What is the double helix?
The base that replaces Guanine in RNA.
What is Cytosine?
This organelle breaks down waste and old cell parts.
What are lysosomes?
The scientist who first named "cells."
Who is Robert Hooke?
Organelle found in plant cells that carries out photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
The four nitrogen bases in DNA.
What are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine?
The type of RNA that carries instructions from DNA to the ribosome.
What is messenger RNA(mRNA)?
The process of making proteins using DNA instructions.
What is protein synthesis?
This theory states that all living things are made of cells.
What is the Cell Theory?
The packaging and shipping center of the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
The base that pairs with adenine in DNA.
What is thymine?
The type of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosomes.
What is transfer RNA(tRNA)?
The organelle where translation happens.
What is the ribosome?
This invention made the discovery of cells possible.
What is the microscope?
The organelle where proteins are made.
What are ribosomes?
The three parts of the cell theory.
What is all living things are composed of one or more cells? What is cells are the basic unit of life? What is all cells come from preexisting cells?
The process where DNA is copied into mRNA.
What is transcription?
DNA is found in this organelle.
What is the nucleus?
