Organelle Function
Known as the control center of eukaryotic cells, it regulates activities like growth, metabolism, and reproduction, and contains the DNA
What is the Nucleus?
his is the pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight and is responsible for making plants appear green
What is Chlorophyll?
This organelle is nicknamed the powerhouse of the cell because it is where cellular respiration takes place
What are Mitochondria?
Cells are classified as this type if they do NOT contain a nucleus
What are Prokaryotes?
These specialized molecular machines are found within cells and work with the Rough ER to make proteins.
What are Ribosomes?
This process has stages that can be light-dependent or light-independent
What is Photosynthesis
These two molecules are the waste products released during cellular respiration
This is the main difference between autotrophs (producers) and heterotrophs (consumers)
What is the ability to make their own food (energy)?
This organelle is smooth because it lacks ribosomes and is primarily important for the creation and storage of lipids (fats) and steroids
What is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER)?
This substance is a product of photosynthesis and a reactant of cellular respiration
What is Glucose?
This process converts glucose into ATP, a more usable form of energy for cells, and can be aerobic or anaerobic
What is Cellular Respiration?
One makes glucose, which the other needs to create the usable ATP energy for the cell, show a relationship between two organelles
What are Chloroplasts and Mitochondria?
This term describes the Cell Membrane because it permits some substances to enter cells but not others.
What is Semi-permeable?
The chloroplasts found in plant cells are responsible for making food, classifying plants as this type of organism.
What is an Autotroph (or Producer)?
The final product of cellular respiration that serves as the specific energy used by cells
What is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)?
The products of one are used as reactants for the other, forming a relationship cycle between the two processes.
What is Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration?
The primary role of ribosomes, which are made in the nucleolus, is to perform this process.
What is Protein Synthesis (or the making of proteins)?
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Sunlight = C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
What is the chemical equation for Photosynthesis?
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂= 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
What is the Chemical Equation for Cellular Respiration?
Through photosynthesis, producers use sunlight to provide glucose for all other life on the planet, which is used by cells to produce ATP.
What is Energy?
