Organelles
The thin, flexible, semi-permeable outer layer surrounding all living cells
What is the cell membrane?
The clear, gel-like substance that fills the cell and holds organelles in place.
What is the cytoplasm?
These are the 2 "ingredients" needed for photosynthesis.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
This is the organelle that photosynthesis takes place in.
What is a chloroplast?
The TYPE of cells that animals and plants are made up of
What are eukaryotic cells?
This organelle is responsible for making proteins.
What are ribosomes?
This organelle gives a cell its shape and structure. It is primarily made of cellulose.
What is the cell wall?
This is the primary source of the light energy required for photosynthesis.
What is the sun?
This is the green pigment found in chloroplasts that give plants their green color.
What is chlorophyl?
This is what aquatic plants release in the form of tiny bubbles which is evidence for photosynthesis ocurring.
What is oxygen?
This organelle is responsible for generating energy to power a cell's life, growth, and survival.
What is the mitochondria?
This organelle is a "storage tank" for water, food, nutrients, and waste products.
What is a vacuole?
These are the 2 products that are created by photosynthesis.
What are glucose (or sugar) and oxygen?
This is the part of the plant that controls the amount of light that comes into the cell.
What is the stomata?
This is a reactant in photosynthesis that largely comes from living things exhaling.
What is carbon dioxide (or CO2)?
This organelle is the control center of the cell; storing genetic material (DNA).
What is the nucleus?
This organelle is a long tubular passageway connected to the nucleus and is used as a transport system helping build and transport proteins.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
This is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide.
What is CO2?
Plants have many chloroplasts for this reason: it allows more sunlight to be absorbed at once, increasing the efficiency of photosynthesis.
What is increasing surface area?
This type of cell has no nucleus.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
An organelle found in most eukaryotic cells that acts as the cell's "post office", packaging proteins for delivery to specific destinations within or outside of the cell
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
This organelle is like a garbage and recycling center for cells. It breaks down waste.
What is a lysosome?
This group of organisms, including plants, makes its own food using photosynthesis instead of eating other organisms.
What are autotrophs?
This is the kind of energy that light energy is converted into during photosynthesis.
What is chemical energy?
During photosynthesis, plants convert the Sun’s energy and store it in this substance, which is a type of sugar.
What is glucose?
