This structure controls what enters the cell.

What is the cell membrane

100

Known as the powerhouse of the cell, this organelle uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy for cells and tissues.

What is the mitochondria

100

These tiny structures produce proteins.

What are ribosomes

100

This organelle mainly stores substances.

What is a vacuole

100

This type of cell has a nucleus: prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

What is Eukaryotic

200

This structure stores genetic material, directs activities of the cell, and is its control center.

What is the nucleus
200

This organelle is the site of photosynthesis.

What is a chloroplast

200

These structures carry materials from one location in the cell to another, or to the cell membrane.

What are vesicles

200

This structure supports and anchors some structures within cells.

What is the cytoskeleton

200

Bacteria are this type of cell because they do not have membrane bound organelles or a nucleus

What is Prokaryotic 

300

This structure separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm.

What is the nuclear membrane

300

Photosynthesis uses light as a source of energy to produce sugars from these two materials

what are carbon dioxide and water

300

This organelle modifies and sorts proteins and lipids before they are transported to their final locations.

What is the Golgi body/apparatus 

300

This is the jellylike part of the cytoplasm called.

what is cytosol 

300

The cells of a lizard would be this kind of cell. 

What are eukaryotic cells 
400

This structure provides support and protection outside the cell membrane in plant cells.

What is the cell wall

400

Daily Double!!!! (each group silently write your answer on your whiteboard and how many points you want to wager between 100-1,000)

A scientist observes a cell with no nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles. The cell is from a bacterium. Identify the cell type and state whether it has a nucleus.

What are Prokaryotic cells, that do not have a nucleus.

400

This organelle is involved in the production of proteins and lipids. It may be smooth or covered with ribosomes.

What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum 

400

This is the location of many reactions that take place in a cell.

What is cytoplasm 

400

Do E. Coli (bacteria) have a nucleus?

what is no they do not

500


This control center stores genetic material, and this structure separates it from the cytoplasm. Name both.


What are the nucleus and nuclear membrane 

500


A plant cell makes its own sugars from carbon dioxide and water using light. An animal cell lacks the organelle that does this. What is the organelle?


What is are chloroplasts

500

This organelle breaks down toxins and wastes with enzymes and is sometimes called the “garbageman of the cell.”

What is a lysosome (Miss Lee's favorite organelle)

500

How are vacuoles different in plant and animal cells?

What is vacuoles are larger in plant/smaller and more numerous in animal

500

Name one organelle eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells lack


What is a nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi body, lysosomes, vacuoles or vesicles
