Nucleus
100
What is the basic unit of life?
Cells
100
Plant cells are what shape?
Rectangular, square, or diamond shaped (all are correct)
100
Do animal cells have Chloroplasts?
No, they do not.
100
What tool can be used to help see cells easier?
A microscope
200
A jelly-like substance that keeps all the organelles in place
Cytoplasm
200
A cell structure that performs a specific function
An organelle
200
In plants, this large organelle stores water and wastes.
Vacuole
200
Animal cells are what shape?
Circular
200
where can you find a cell with a cell wall, a nucleus, and chloroplasts? In an animal cell or a plant cell?
A plant cell, because animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts.
300
Known as the powerhouse of the cell because it creates energy
Mitochondria
300
What type of cell is this?
Plant Cell
300
What provides plant cells with structure and support?
Cell Wall
300
What is the part that helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules in the animal cell?
Golgi Apparatus
(Golgi Body)
300
What controls everything in the cells or is known as the brain for the cell?
The nucleus
400
What is the structure inside of the nucleus that creates ribosomes?
Nucleolus
400
How does a chloroplast make its food?
Using photosynthesis
400
What makes a plant cell green?
Chloroplast/Chlorophyll
400
An organelle that contains digestive enzymes and acts as a recycling facility
Lysosome
400
What breaks down the food inside a cell and releases energy?
The mitochondria
500
Controls what enters and leaves the cell
The cell membrane
500
The jelly-like fluid that surrounds and protect the organelles
Cytoplasm!
500
Which organelle is a series of stacked membrane sacs called that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for delivery to other organelles?
Hint: is kind of like an amazon warehouse
Golgi Apparatus
Fun Fact!
A primary role is the synthesis of polysaccharides like pectin and hemicellulose, which are major components of the plant cell wall. Up to 80% of the Golgi's activity can be devoted to this function.
500
Animal cells have this organelle but it is much smaller in animal cells than plants and mainly stores waste.
Vacuole
500
Which organelle is made of RNA and plays a crucial role in cell growth and repair?
Ribosome!
