Plant Cells
What is the name of the organelle in a plant cell that contains chlorophyll?
Chloroplast
This is the organelle that has ribosomes on its surface and helps with protein synthesis.
Rough ER
What organelle is DNA stored in?
The nucleus
This is the reason we were able to advance cell theory.
The advancement of technology/microscopes.
The lack of this structure identifies a cell as a prokaryote.
Nucleus
What organelle helps the cell maintain its shape and move other things inside the cell around?
Cytoskeleton
What 4 things do all cells have?
Cell membrane, nucleus or DNA, cytoplasm or cytosol, ribosomes
What is the gel-like substance in the cell?
Cytosol
Why does a plant cell need a large vacuole?
To maintain (turgor) pressure and store water
What do glycoproteins and lipids do?
Cell signaling
What process do mitochondria undergo and why?
Cellular Respiration, to produce energy in the form of ATP
This is where cells come from.
All cells come from other cells.
This organelle is non-membrane bound and free floats in the cytoplasm in all types of cells.
Ribosomes
What happens in the nucleolus?
Ribosomes are built
What organelle helps synthesize lipids and detox the cell?
Smooth ER
These are the types of organelles that prokaryotes lack.
Membrane Bound Organelles
Centrosome
Name the three things that plant cells have that plant cells do not
Pick 3:
Plant cells have a large central vacuole, chloroplasts, cell wall, connections through plasmodesmata
Why does the cell membranes have proteins?
To help with transport of molecules across the membrane.
What organelle has hydrolytic enzymes to breakdown cell waste?
Lysosome
A singular, circular chromosome that floats in the nucleoid region of the cytoplasm.
The maintenance of Turgor Pressure.
