Cell membranes
What kind of layer is the cell membrane? What is it made up of?
Phospholipid Bi-layer
This organelle is considered the control center of the cell
Nucleus
This organelle is typically referred to as the powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondrion
True or False: Prokaryotes have a nucleus
False
What is the model that scientists use to refer to the cell membrane?
Fluid mosaic model
The "cell soup" or fluid like substance that allows organelles to move throughout the cell is called
The cytoplasm
This organelle is found only in plants, and captures sunlight to help convert light energy into glucose
Chloroplasts
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes share this organelle
Ribosomes
What molecule helps to keep/regulate membrane fluidity?
Cholesterol
cytoskeleton
This organelle assists in cell division! It was the first organelle you looked at on the gizmo activity.
Centriole
Plant cells and most bacterial cells have this, while animal cells do not
Cell wall
What is the difference between the smooth and rough ER?
Rough ER has ribosomes on it, folds and modifies proteins, smooth ER detoxifies substances and makes lipids
Which proteins allow the passage of molecules through the cell membrane that can't pass through normally?
Channel proteins
This organelle is responsible for modifying/folding proteins and can be covered with ribosomes
(rough) endoplasmic reticulum
These organelles function as cellular garbage men and contain digestive enzymes
Lysosomes
Bacteria/strep throat
Which molecules in the cell membrane function as cellular name tags?
Carbohydrate tails
This organelle packages proteins and sends them to their respective destinations
golgli apparatus
Found also in the nose, these hair like projections help cells to move around
cilia
If I isolate a cell from a piece of tree bark, is that cell prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Eukaryotic
