Parts of a cell
Only plant cells have this
What is a cell wall?
This is the smooth outer surface of the mitochondria
What is the outer membrane?
Green pigment found in chloroplasts
A nucleus is only found in this cell
What is a eukaryotic cell?
When certain traits are passed down from one generation to the next
What is heredity?
This is found only in eucaryotic cells
What is a nucleus
This is the wrinkled part of the mitochondria that is found inside the cell
what is the inner membrane?
Sacks inside the chloroplast that contain pigment and make food for the cell
What is the tylakoid?
This surrounds the nucleus to keep things out
What is a nuclear envelope?
When present, this trait will always be seen, like brown eyes.
What is dominant?
This is how plant cells get energy
What is photosynthesis?
These are the folds of the inner membrane where energy is made
What is the cristae?
Stacks of thylakoids
What are grana?
This is where RNA and Ribosomes are made
What is a nucleolus?
This is when an accident happens when genes are being passed down from parent to child
What is a mutation?
This is found in a cell to keep things from bumping into each other
What is cytoplasm?
This is the fluid filled inside of the mitochondria
what is the matrix
This is energy that is stored in the chlorophyll
What is ATP?
Giving RNA specific messages it will take to the ribosome is called
What is transcription?
When scientists change genes in the lab to make something stronger or better
What is genetic modification?
This is the "bouncer" of the cell.
What is the membrane?
This is the process where the mitochondria takes food, combines it with oxygen and makes energy
What is cellular respiration?
This holds the grana in place in the chloroplast.
What is lamella?
When the RNA message is turned into a protein
What is translation?
He is considered the father of Genetics
Who is Mendel?
