What do antibiotics kill?
The animal cell lacks a cell wall but is surrounded by this
cell membrane
This structure which is not found in animal cells offers support and protection
cell wall
The cell membrane is semi-permeable, that means that it
Lets certain things in and keeps other things out
What type of pasta is shaped like bow ties?
farfalle
Where is Salmonella commonly found in animals?
in their guts
This organelle is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
golgi body
Though found in animal cells, this structure is much larger in plant cells. It helps with food/water storage
vacuole
Where are ribosomes found in the cell?
Attached to the rough ER or floating in the cytoplasm
In bowling, three strikes in a row is called a _____
Turkey
How do viruses reproduce?
Viruses reproduce by infecting a host cell. They attach to the cell, enter it, and use the cell's machinery to replicate their genetic material and proteins. New viruses are then assembled inside the cell and released to infect more cells, often killing the host cell in the process.
Often referred to as the powerhouse, this organelle is responsible for cellular respiration and the production of ATP
mitochondria
This organelle converts radiant energy of the sun into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis
chloroplast
Describe the nucleolus. Where it's located and what it does
Inside the nucleus and makes ribosomes
Which country gave the USA the Statue of Liberty?
France
Vibrio
These organelles contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
Lysosome
This large organelle contains the cell's genetic material and controls many of the cell's activities.
nucleus
This organelle is responsible for making lipids (fats) and detoxification. It has a pimply cousin.
Smooth ER
What was the first Pixar film to be made?
a) Cars
b) Ratatouille
c) Bug's Life
d) Toy Story
d) Toy Story
Are viruses alive? Explain why or why not
Although viruses exhibit some characteristics of life, such as genetic material and the ability to evolve, but they lack other key features like cellular structure, independent metabolism, and self-replication. Consequently, many scientists consider viruses to be complex molecular machines rather than living organisms.
Name 5 organelles that an animal cell have
Example Answer: Cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, mitochondria
Your team has 90 seconds to draw and label a plant cell. Make sure to include: nucleus, ERs, chloroplast, central vacuole, cell membrane, cell wall, ribosomes, mitochondria, cytoplasm, golgi body. Organelles need to look correct and the diagram needs to include all the labels, otherwise the question will go to the other teams.
