Cell Organelles #1
This organelle controls the passage of materials in and out of the nucleus
Nuclear membrane
Uses sunlight energy to make "food" in plants
chloroplast
This organelle makes proteins in the cell
ribosomes
A cell needs to control what substances enter and leave. Which structure would be most important, and why?
What is the cell membrane? It controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Chloroplasts are what color?
Green
The directions for making organisms. Contains hereditary information.
DNA
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell that turns food into energy.
Mitochondria
DNA is located inside of this organelle
Nucleus
A plant cell and an animal cell are compared. Name one structure the plant cell has that the animal cell does not, and explain its job.
What is the cell wall? It provides support and protection.
A cell has a nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm. Would you classify it as prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Explain.
What is eukaryotic? It has a nucleus.
Why would a plant cell usually have a larger vacuole than an animal cell?
It stores a large amount of water and helps support the plant cell.
This organelle controls what substances go in and out of the cell.
Cell membrane
A cell is producing a lot of waste. Which organelle would help the cell most, and what does it do?
What is the lysosome? It breaks down waste and worn-out cell parts.
This organelle is gel-like and holds the other organelles
Cytoplasm
A scientist observes a cell with no nucleus but with genetic material inside it. What type of cell is it, and what evidence supports your answer?
What is a prokaryotic cell? It does not have a nucleus.
If the cell membrane stopped working, predict one problem the cell might experience.
Unwanted substances could enter, or needed substances could not move in or out correctly.
This organelle is the stores water in cells
Vacuoles
This is the basic unit of structure and function in a living thing.
cell
The nucleus is often compared to the brain. Explain one reason why this comparison makes sense.
Because both control activities, the nucleus controls the cell, and the brain controls the body.
This organelle cleans and removes waste from the cell
lysosomes
This organelle helps break down waste and worn-out cell parts, much like a cleanup system.
What is the lysosome?
A student says all cells have exactly the same structures. What evidence could you use to show that statement is incorrect?
Plant and animal cells have some different structures, such as cell walls and chloroplasts in plant cells.
These 2 organelles are found in plant cells and NOT in animal cells.
cell wall and chloroplasts
This organelle moves the proteins around the cell
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
This type of cell has a more rectangular or boxy shape
Plant
This organelle is responsible for the packaging and shipping of substances throughout the cell and across the membrane.
Golgi body
A student says the endoplasmic reticulum is like the circulatory system. Explain why this comparison makes sense.
Because both help transport or move materials from one place to another.
what does the cell ER do?
produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function.
