Functions
This thin layer that surrounds every single eukaryotic cell has many functions including the transport of materials into and out of a cell.
What is the cell membrane
Organelles are suspended in this jelly-like material.
What is cytoplasm?
What is function?
What is the plant cell
Typical cells range from 5 to _____ micrometers in diameter
What is 50
Mitochondria is often called the "powerhouse of the cell," but that is a meaningless statement. This is its actual function.
Plant cells have both of these organelles surrounding them (you need to get both to be correct)
What are the cell wall and the cell membrane?
These dotted structures are found all along the rough endoplasmic reticulum
What are ribosomes?
This cell contains centrioles
What is the animal cell
This type of cell does not have a nucleus
What is a prokaryote
Sometimes called the "brain" of the cell, this organelle contains the information needed for each part of the cell to know what to do.
What is the nucleus?
Smooth or rough, you'll find this protein producing organelle near the nucleus.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
This wavy macromolecule serves as the cells "post office", shipping macromolecules where they need to go!
What is the golgi apparatus?
This rigid structure is only found in plant cells.
What is a cell wall?
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on it?
This storage and waste removal organelle is very large in plant cells!
What is a vacuole?
You'll find these three only in a plant cell (you only have to name one)
What are the large vacuole, chloroplasts, or cell wall.
This round macromolecule digests and process waste, as well as recycles organelles.
What are lysosomes?
This is a way that you can tell plant and animal cells apart just by looking at them.
What is a plant cell is rigid, an animal cell is not?
OR
What is plant cells are green, animal cells are not
(either answer will do!)
An analysis of this kind of plant led to the original discovery of cells.
What is cork?
The nucleolus sits in the center of the nucleus, so it is easy to assume that it is the real control center, but it actually has this function.
What is makes ribosomes?
These barrel shaped organelles have ridges that resemble rigatoni pasta. They help pull DNA apart during cell division.
What are centrioles.
These two organelles have their own membrane. It was theorized that they used to exist outside of cells but were absorbed in!
What are mitochondria and chloroplasts?
This green pigment, found in the chloroplasts of plant cells, is crucial to the process of photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll?
This scientist pioneered microbiology with his observations of unicellular organisms.
Who is Antonie van Leeuwenhoek?
