Cell Organelles
This organelle is the "Brain of the cell" and contains all the information in the cell.
What is the Nucleus?
This organelle is only found in plant cells and is a hard structure around the outside of the cell.
What is the cell wall.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
This is the basic building block of life.
What is a cell?
Robert Hooke built this in 1665.
What is a microscope?
The outer layer that surrounds a cell, protects it, and gives it shape. This layer keeps harmful material out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This organelle packages proteins and other materials and sends them to other parts of the body.
What is an the Golgi apparatus/complex?
DNA can be read as these four letters.
What are A, T, C and G?
When a group of similar cells work together it is called this.
What is a tissue?
Compared to the number of cells in a strawberry, an elephant has a(n) ___________________ number of cells.
(Note that elephant cells and mouse cells are animal cells and are the same size individually)
This organelle breaks down sugars from our food and uses them for energy.
What is the mitochondria?
This organelle is responsible for cleaning up waste materials in the body.
What are lysosomes?
This type of cell is what multi-cellular organisms are made of.
What are Eukaryotic cells?
Our body can be divided into a few systems called. These systems help us survive.
What are organ systems?
In a microscope the eyepiece has a magnification of x10 and the objective lens has a magnification of x20. What is the total magnification of this microscope?
What is x200? (10 x 20 = 200)
This organelle produces materials for the cell and is made of of folded membranes covered in ribosomes.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum or ER?
This organelle is only found in plants and takes carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight and turns it into sugar for the plant to use.
What are the chloroplasts.
(if you said chlorophyll that's the chemical in the chloroplasts)
This type of organism cannot be multi-cellular because it lacks a nucleus.
What are Prokaryotic cells.
What are organs?
New cells are produced from these.
What are existing cells?
This organelle is created by the Golgi apparatus to carry materials to other parts of your body.
What is a vacuole?
This organelle is very small. It reads the DNA and uses those instructions to build materials like proteins in the cell using amino acids.
What are Ribosomes?
Translate the following sequence of DNA:
A A T A G C G A C
What is T T A T C G C T G ?
Inside the Nucleus of our cells, DNA is organized into this structure.
What is a chromosome?
What is 99.9%?
