Types of Cells
Cell that does not contain a nucleus.
What is a prokaryote? (Prokaryotic Cell)
This organelle is the control center of the cell, and is where DNA is stored.
What is the nucleus?
What are plants? (producers)
Cell that carries genetic information for males.
What is a sperm cell?
The basic unit that makes up every living organism.
What is a cell?
Bacteria contain this type of cell.
What is prokaryotic cells?
This gel-like substance inside the cell holds the organelles in place. Also, chemical reactions take place there.
What is the cytoplasm?
The structure where photosynthesis takes place.
What are chloroplasts?
A cell that carries oxygen around the body.
What are red blood cells?
New cells come from ____________ cells.
What are existing cells?
Cell that contains membrane-bound organelles.
What is eukaryote? (Eukaryotic cell)
This organelle surrounds all cells and keeps the cytoplasm inside. It is the gateway to the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The structure where cellular respiration takes place.
What are mitochondria?
Cell that carries electrical messages around the body and controls body functions.
What is a neuron? (Nerve cell)
Cell that contains one large, central vacuole.
Eukaryotic cell that contains lysosomes.
Cells contain many of these organelles that are responsible for making proteins for the cell.
What are ribosomes?
The process used to produce ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
Long and slender cell that contains fibers that aid in contracting and relaxing.
What is a muscle cell?
Specialized parts found in eukaryotic cells.
What are organelles?
Type of cells that contain a cell wall and nucleus.
What is a plant cell?
Digest food particles, wastes, cell parts and foreign invaders. This organelle is the clean-up crew of the cell.
What are lysosomes?
The process by which plants capture light energy and convert it into sugar.
What is photosynthesis?
Cell with large surface area of microvilli for nutrient absorption.
What is an intestinal cell?
