Cell Energy
Photosynthesis occurs in which organelle?
The Chloroplast
This organelle is the control center of the cell
The nucleus
What is one example of a eukaryotic cell?
Animal cell, plant cell, any body cells are all acceptable answers
What is the sac-like structure that stores water in plant cells?
Large vacuole
What are the two functions of the cell membrane?
-Protect the cell
-Allow things to enter and exit the cell
What molecule in plant cells first captures the radiant energy from sunlight?
Chlorophyll
What is the gel-like fluid organelles are contained in?
Cytoplasm
Where is genetic material stored in a prokaryotic cell?
In the cyoplasm (floats around)
What organelle provides protection and structure in a plant cell?
Cell wall
The cell membrane only lets certain things enter and exit the cell. The term for this is:
Semi-permeable
Cellular respiration occurs in what organelle?
Mitochondria
What organelle would be most helpful to a cell if too much waste product accumulated inside the cell?
Lysosome
Prokaryotic cells do NOT have these two things:
Nucleus, membrane bound organelles,
What is the one organelle found ONLY in animal cells?
Lysosome
What type of cells contain a cell membrane?
ALL cells have a cell membrane
This energy molecule is created when glucose is broken down during cellular respiration.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
What organelle is the site of protein synthesis?
Ribosome
What type(s) of organisms are prokaryotic?
Bacteria
Name three structures found in plant cells that are NOT found in animal cells
Cell wall, chloroplast, large vacuole
The phospholipid bilayer is made up of:
-hydrophilic phosphate head and a hydrophobic tail consisting of two fatty acid chains.
Where is energy in ATP stored
The bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate
What are two differences between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Rough: Has ribosomes attached, makes proteins
Smooth: No ribosomes attached, makes lipids
What are three structures that prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common?
Cell membrane, ribosome, cytoplasm, genetic material,
Cellulose is the primary component of the cell wall. What type of organic molecule is cellulose?
Carbohydrate
*It ends in -OSE*
This type of diffusion requires the help of protein channels. It allows for the diffusion of large molecules, like glucose, through the cell membrane.
Facilitated Diffusion
