Organisms made up of Eukaryotic cells are composed of how many cells?
What is 1 - trillions?
100
I have a bilayer membrane composed of phospholipids and an selectively permeable.
What is a cell membrane?
100
I store DNA - your genetic information.
What is a nucleus?
100
Hooke described my appearance as being similar to small rooms found in a monastery. And thus, I was named.
What is a cell?
100
The creation of this piece of technology led to the eventual discovery of cells.
What is a microscope?
200
While this organelle is present in both animal and plant cells - it is much larger and more structurally significant in plant cells. It has been described as being like a water balloon.
What is a vacuole?
200
We are small membrane-bound sacs that divide some materials from the rest of the cytoplasm and transport these materials from place to place. We are short lived and are formed and recycled as needed.
What are vesicles?
200
I process, sort, and deliver proteins to other organelles within the cell.
What is a Golgi apparatus?
200
I've been described as being similar to a large sleeping bag being stuffed into a small sack - many creases and folds - my membranes form a maze of enclosed spaces.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
200
This is the substance/material that was looked at under a microscope when cells were first discovered.
What is a cork?
300
These two structures are present in plant cells - but not in animals cells.
What is the cell wall and chloroplasts?
300
We defend a cell from invading bacteria and viruses. We also break down damaged or worn out cell parts.
What are lysosomes?
300
I help give a plant cell it's shape and maintain it's structure. I may be filled with pigment, or toxin.
What is a vacuole?
300
When I am covering the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum - I give it a "rough" appearance.
What is a ribosome?
300
This was the year cells were discovered.
What is 1665?
400
These are the two characteristics that distinguish a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic cell.
What are membrane bound organelles and a nucleus storing DNA?
400
I consist of microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments - all of which provide support and shape to the cell.
What is the cytoskeleton?
400
I am a rigid layer that gives protection, support, and shape to the cell.
What is a cell wall?
400
This organelle (made of two components) is always perpendicular to one another. It is cylinder-shaped and made of short microtubules.
What is the centrosome?
400
When Leeuwenhoek observed and drew microscopic life, he gave them this name.
What are animalcules?
500
In Prokaryotic cells, the DNA is located here.
What is suspended in the cytoplasm?
500
I have my own DNA - which is different than the DNA of the organism in which I live.
What is the mitochondria?
500
I organize microtubules to form cilia and flagella.
What are centrioles?
500
I am green in color and am made of stacks of disc-shaped sacs called thylakoids.
What are chloroplasts?
500
These are 2 of the 3 principles of cell theory.
What is 1)All living organisms are made of cells. 2) All existing cells are produced by other living cells. 3) The cell is the most basic unit of life?
