plant cells
The jelly like substance fills the cell and surrounds the organelles.
what it is cytoplasm
What is the gel-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles?
The cytoplasm (or cytosol).
These organisms, including bacteria and archaea, lack a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles.
What are prokaryotes?
What is the primary characteristic that distinguishes a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic cell?
What is the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus (or membrane-bound organelles)?
What is the pinky finger (or genetic drift or small population size)?
This finger represents the random changes in gene frequency that occur more rapidly in smaller populations.
the rigid outer layer, made out of cellulose, provides structural support and shape to plant cell
what is the cell wall?
Often called the "powerhouses" of the cell, which organelle is responsible for generating most of the cell's energy (ATP) through cellular respiration?
The mitochondria.
This is the general location where a prokaryotic cell's DNA is found, as it has no true nucleus.
What is the nucleoid region (or cytoplasm)?
Name two of the four kingdoms whose organisms are all made of eukaryotic cells.
What are Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista (or Algae)?
What is the pointer finger (or gene flow or movement)?
The process, represented by the pointer finger, where individuals moving into or out of a population changes the gene pool.
Often called "the brain" of the cell, this organelle controls of the cells activities and contains the genetic material.
what is the cell?
Which organelle acts as the control center of the cell, directing all cell activities and containing the genetic material (DNA)?
The nucleus.
The process of asexual reproduction by which most prokaryotes divide, resulting in two identical daughter cells.
What is binary fission?
This energy-producing organelle in eukaryotic cells has its own DNA and ribosomes that are similar in size to those found in bacteria.
What are mitochondria?
What is the middle finger (or mutation)?
This "middle" process introduces new genetic variants into a population's gene pool.
this organelle is unique to plant cells and is the site where sunlight energy is converted into food (glucose) through photosynthesis.
what is the chloroplast?
What is the name of the double membrane that encloses the nucleus and regulates what enters and leaves it through tiny pores?
The nuclear envelope (or nuclear membrane).
This structural component, made of peptidoglycan in bacteria, provides support and shape to the cell.
What is the cell wall?
Eukaryotic DNA is organized into multiple, linear structures located within the nucleus, which are coiled around these specific proteins.
What are histones?
What is the ring finger (or non-random mating or sexual selection)?
This process, represented by the ring finger, involves individuals choosing mates based on specific traits rather than by chance.
This large, central, fluid-filled organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste products and helps maintain turgor pressure, giving the plant cell structural support
The large central vacuole.
Which organelles are responsible for synthesizing proteins, and which other organelle helps to process, package, and transport those proteins to other parts of the cell or out of the cell?
Ribosomes make the proteins, and the Golgi apparatus (or Golgi body) packages and distributes them.
These small, circular, self-replicating DNA molecules are often found in prokaryotes in addition to their main chromosome.
What are plasmids?
This leading evolutionary theory explains how organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from a symbiotic relationship between an ancient anaerobic archaeon host cell and aerobic bacteria.
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
What is the thumb (or natural selection)?
Represented by the thumb, this is the only process that leads to organisms becoming better adapted to their environment.
