Fun Facts
100

This cellular structure acts as a barrier, controlling what enters and exits the cell.

Cell membrane

100

Where is the cell wall located?

Outermost layer of the cell

100

This is the rigid outer layer of plant cells.

Cell wall

100

Which type of cell has a large, central vacuole?

Plant cell

100

What is the power house of the cell?

Mitochondria

200

This jelly-like substance fills the interior of the cell, supporting the organelles and facilitating cellular processes.

Cytoplasm

200

Where are ribosomes found?

Cytoplasm OR rough endoplasmic reticulum

200

Plant cells often have large, fluid-filled sacs called these, which store water, nutrients, and waste products.

Central Vacuole

200

What are two differences between a plant cell and an animal cell?

Cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole

200

What is the difference between rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Rough ER has ribosomes embedded in it.
300

This organelle controls most of the cell processes and contains the hereditary information of DNA.

Nucleus

300

Where are the short, hairlike projections called cilia found?

On the edge/outside of the cell

300

This intricate network of protein fibers provides structural support and helps with movement of the organelles within a cell.

Cytoskeleton

300

What type of cell has organelles that use energy from the sun to make sugar?

Plant cell

300

These types of cells were the earliest and most basic forms of life on Earth.

Prokaryotes (Bacteria)

400

This organelle produces energy that a cell needs to carry out functions.

Mitochondrion

400

Where is the mitochondria found?

Cytoplasm

400

Which organelle contains DNA?

Nucleus

400

What kind of cell is your body made of?

animal cell

400

True or false: There are more bacteria in the human body than animal cells.

True

500

These organelles are responsible for packaging and distributing proteins within the cell.

Golgi body/apparatus

500

When looking at cell diagrams, which order to you typically find the nucleus, golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum?

(Inside) Nucleus, ER, Golgi apparatus (Outside)
500

These small membrane-bound sacs transport materials within the cell and to the cell membrane for secretion.

Vesicles

500

This type of cell does not have a nucleus.

Bacteria/prokaryote

500

Which two organelles contain their own DNA separate from the nucleus?

Chloroplasts and mitochondria
