Name that Organelle?
This structure is the largest organelle in a eukaryotic cell.
What is the nucleus?
This double membrane bound organelle is only found in plant cells and allows them to produce their own food.
What is the chloroplast?
This cellular structure composed of a phospholipid bilayer surrounds all types of cells.
What is the cell membrane?
This portion of the phospholipid bilayer is referred to as "water-hating" due to its lack of polarity and positioning away from aqueous environments
What are hydrophobic tails / fatty acid tails?
Cell theory states that these are made up of cells.
What are all living organisms?
This organelle is responsible for the production of ATP.
What is the mitochondria?
This double-membrane bound organelle is found in all eukaryotic cells and allows them to perform cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
This double-membrane bound organelle stores the DNA of all eukaryotic cells.
What is the nucleus?
These types of molecules may easily diffuse in and out of the cell membrane directly through the phospholipid bilayer.
What are small, nonpolar molecules?
Cell theory states that all cells come from these.
What are pre-existing cells?
This organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.
What is the chloroplast?
This external feature surrounds the cell membrane of plant cells, but not animal cells.
What is the cell wall?
These types of organisms are only constructed of eukaryotic cells, never prokaryotic ones.
What are multicellular organisms?
These help larger molecules travel through the cell membrane.
What are membrane proteins?
Cell theory defines cells as this.
What is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms?
This organelle is dotted with ribosomes and is responsible for the production of proteins.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
These small cellular structures are found in all cells and allows both plant and animal cells to translate RNA into protein.
What are ribosomes?
This category of cells contains the oldest and most abundant types of cells.
What are prokaryotic cells?
These molecules need help crossing the cell membrane because they have a charge.
What are ions?
Cell theory states that all life functions of an organism occur within these.
What are cells?
This organelle in plant cells is responsible for storing the cell's water.
What is the central vacuole?
Animal cells contain several small versions of this organelle used for storage, while plant cells typically have one large version.
What is a vacuole (central vacuole in plant cells)
These cellular structures are not found in any prokaryotic organism. Hint: the nucleus is an example
What are membrane-bound organelles?
This model explains the way the cell membrane is composed of multiple different types of molecules that can move freely in the membrane.
What is the fluid mosaic model?
Cell theory is one of the unifying principles of this, along with gene theory, homeostasis, and the theory of evolution.
What is biology?
