Plant Cells
What are two structures that protect the plant cell?
Cell membrane and cell wall
What shape are animal cells?
Irregular shaped
What are two organelles contained in a plant cell but not in an animal cell?
Name at least 9 organelles in the animal cell?
Nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosome, cytoplasm, golgi apparatus, vacuole, mitochondria, cell membrane, centrosome
How do cells divide and what are examples of this process?
Cell division; Mitosis and Meiosis
Which organelle found in the plant cell is responsible for photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
What do lysosomes do?
Clean up crew! Contains digestive enzymes that help break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
Name at least 10 organelles found in the plant cell?
Nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), cytoplasm, golgi apparatus, vacuole, mitochondria, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplast
What type of cells are animal and plant cells?
Eukaryotic Cells
Which organelle is responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations?
Golgi body
What organelle is also known as the cell's "powerhouse?"
Mitochondria
What is the gel-like fluid found inside the cells?
Cytoplasm
Which organelle is known as the control center of the cell?
Nucleus
What are the three main parts of a cell?
Cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm
Difference between the appearance of rough ER and smooth ER?
Rough ER has ribosomes; smooth ER does not
What is inside the nucleus?
DNA - the genetic information necessary for directing cellular activities
Name the three differences between a plant cell and an animal cell.
Plant cells have a larger vacuole, chloroplasts, and a cell wall.
*Plants are square shaped / animal cells are irregular shaped
*Animal cells contain lysosome and centrosome
Name something that the cell membrane does?
It protects the inside of the cell, it controls the movement of material in and out of the cell, it supports and gives a cell its shape.
Name at least two organelles responsible for protein production.
Nucleus, nucleolus, ER, golgi body, ribosomes
What does the smooth ER specifically do?
Synthesizes fats (make fats), breaks down harmful byproducts in the cell
What are two things that are stored in the vacuoles?
Any of the following: food, water, salt, waste, protein, minerals
