I discovered and coined the "cell" by looking at cork under the newly invented microsope

Robert Hooke

100

I am the area of the cell which contains fluid.

Cytoplasm

100

I am the organelle in which proteins are packaged, modified, and transported.

Golgi Apparatus

100

I am a cell which contains my DNA inside a membrane sealed nucleus.

Eukaryotic

200

I was an aristocrat who discovered that new cells come from the division of preexisting cells

Henri Dutrochet

200

I am the garbage container of a cell which contains acid and destroys defunct biomolecules

Lysosomes
200

I am the folded membrane about which ribosomes can attach after they leave the nucleus

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

200

I am a type of cell which does not contain my DNA in a nucleus, but rather wrapped/tangled about

Prokaryotic

300

I discovered, by means of extensive studies of red blood cells and chick embryo's, that cells do not come to exist by spontaneous generation, but rather from other cells

Robert Remak

I am the storage container of a cell

Vacuole

300

I am the protein factory of the cell.

Ribosomes

300

I am the jelly-like fluid which is contained in cells.

Cytosol

I am the densely packed region of DNA within a nucleus

Nucleolus

mitochondria

400

I am the name of the semipermeable barrier which divides cells and organelles

Membrane

I took Remak's understanding and popularized it by the phrase, "omnis cellula e cellula."

Rudolph Virchow

500

The name of the molecule that Mitochondria convert glucose into

ATP

I am the holes in the nucleus which allow ribosomes to travel through.

Nuclear Pores
