Vocabulary
A part of the cells that contains DNA
Nucleus
What is the basic unit of life?
Cells
What provides plant cells with structure and support?
Cell Wall
What are some differences between plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall; not animal cells. Plant cells have chloroplasts; not animal cells. Plant cells are boxier shaped. Animal cells have more vacuoles that are smaller than the one big vacuole in a plant cell.
What tool can be used to help see cells easier?
A microscope
A jelly-like substance that keeps all the organelles in place
Cytoplasm
A cell structure that performs a specific function
An organelle
What organelle makes food in a plant cell?
Chloroplasts
Do animal cells have a nucleus?
Yes!
where can you find a cell with a cell wall, a nucleus, and chloroplasts? In an animal cell or a plant cell?
A plant cell, because animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts.
Known as the powerhouse of the cell because it creates energy
Mitochondria
How does a chloroplast make its food?
Using photosynthesis
Surrounds a plant cell

What do you call cells with a nucleus?
eukaryotic cells (you rhymes with DO. They DO have a nucleus!)
What controls everything in the cells or is known as the brain for the cell?
The nucleus
Controls what enters and leaves the cell

What do you call cells without a nucleus?
prokaryotic (Pro rhymes with no...NO nucleus!)
What breaks down the food inside a cell and releases energy?
The mitochondria
Where do the cells store liquids, foods, and waste?
In the vacuole
Made up of more than one cell
Multicellular
Plant cells are what shape and why?
Rectangular because of the cell wall.
Bacteria cells.
What are cells made up of?
