Plant Cells

100

What color are plant cells normally?

Green 

200

Do plants need to eat?

no, they make their own food

300

What shape are plant cells and why?

They are stiff/rigid rectangular shapes because they have cell walls.

400

How do plants get energy and make food?

The chloroplast takes sunlight to turn to food

500

What are the three things that both plant and animal cells both have?

The nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm

Animal Cells

100

True or False: animal cells have chloroplast

False

200

What is the usual shape of an animal cell?

Flexible/round

300

How is the cell membrane and the nucleus similar?

Both of them allow certain material in and out of the cell

400

True or false: Animal cells need cell walls to help with movement.

False -- animals do not have cell walls

500

True or false: When making an animal cell model, a student should use a shoebox.

False -- animal cells are flexible. Student could use a bag.

Chloroplast

What is the organelle that converts sunlight into energy (food) for the plant

400

Cell Membrane

What is a layer around the outside of the cell that lets things in and out

Definitions

100

The organelle contains the cell's genetic material (the DNA)?

What is the nucleus

200

The tool used to view cells because they are too small to be seen with a just bare eyes

What is a microscope

300

What allows plants to use the energy from sunlight?

Chloroplast

400

True or false: The cell membrane is on the outside of the cell wall

False, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane

500

What is magnification?

The act of zooming in on an item

Challenge

100

A student is analyzing a cell under a microscope. They notice that it is lacking a cell wall. What conclusion can the student make about which type of cell they are viewing?

2. It is a tree cell. 

3. It is a flower cell. 

4. It is a strawberry cell. 

A. it is a chicken's cell

200

What should a student use to represent the cytoplasm in a cell model?

Something jelly-like, such as slime or jello

300

Give two definitions of the word organ?

Musical Instrument animal or plant structure with special function

400

What is a school is most like the nucleus?

The principal (Mr. Jackson!)

500

How is the cell membrane and cell wall different?

The cell membranes lets thing in and out while the cell wall gives structure and protection
