Cell Basics
These cells lack a nucleus. Bacteria is an example of this kind of cell.
What are prokaryotic cells?
This protects, supports, and provides shape to the plant cell.
What is cell wall?
This scientist was the first scientist to see and coin the term "cells".
Who is Robert Hooke?
Examples of organisms with these cells are animals, plants, and fungi.
What are eukaryotes?
The mitochondria releases energy in the form of this molecule
What is ATP?
A small structure inside the cell that makes proteins
What are ribosomes?
Examples of these types of organisms are Bacteria, Euglena, Amoeba, and Yeast.
What are unicellular organisms?
Tube-shaped organelle that aids in cell division.
What are centrioles?
This helps the plant cell make food and gives its green color.
What is chloroplast?
This is what van Leeuwenhoek called the single-celled organisms that he saw
What are animalcules?
This is the organelle that serves as a large storage bin for excess water and nutrients.
What is the vacuole?
This is the jelly-fluid in which all organelles rest on in the cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
This scientist first saw single-celled organisms when looking at pond water under a microscope.
Who is Antonie van Leeuwenhoek?
This is where DNA is located in cells.
What is the nucleus?
Outer protective layer of the cell that controls what can come in and out.
What is the cell membrane?
This is a thick protective layer surrounding the cell membrane in plant cells.
What is cell wall?
These cells are much simpler and do not have membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus.
What are Prokaryotes?
