Bacteria Bash
These are long, whip-like appendages that help a cell move by rotating like a corkscrew.
What are flagella?
This is a distinguishing feature of eukaryotes.
What are membrane bound organelles?
This organelle is responsible for degrading cell debris and old cell parts.
What is the lysosome?
This organelle is responsible for photosynthesis and contains the pigment chlorophyll.
What is the chloroplast?
This process is the reason the mitochondria are referred to as "the powerhouse of the cell."
What is cellular respiration?
These are short appendages that are used for attachment and conjugation.
What are pili?
This organelle is responsible for modifying, packing, and sending off materials.
What is the Golgi Body?
This appendage moves outside substances, increases surface area, and allows for sensory reception.
What are cilia?
This organelle is a rigid structure composed of cellulose on the outside of plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
Ribosomes are responsible for the synthesis of these.
What are proteins?
This is the area where DNA is stored.
What is a nucleoid?
This organelle is responsible for the synthesis of lipids.
What is the Smooth ER?
This organelle is part of the cytoskeleton, organizes microtubules, and helps with cell division.
What is the centrosome?
This organelle maintains turgor pressure by storing and releasing water.
What is the central vacuole?
This is the relaxed "spaghetti" form of DNA found in the nucleoplasm.
What is chromatin?
This is a separate, circular DNA molecule that is commonly the site of antibiotic resistance genes.
What is a plasmid?
This is the main structure of organelle membranes.
What is the phospholipid bilayer?
This is the process through which cells become specialized for their specific function.
What is differentiation?
Some species of these two plants have flagella on their spore cells.
What are mosses and ferns?
This collection of filaments assists in cell structure and allows movement of substances and organelles around the cell.
What is the cytoskeleton?
This is the main component of bacterial cell walls.
What is peptidoglycan?
This part of the cell is responsible for making ribosomes.
What is the nucleolus?
This organelle was recently discovered in fruit fly cells and helps process phosphates to make ATP.
What is the PXo body?
This colorless plastid stores starch.
What is the amyloplast?
This specific organelle transports materials inside of the cell.
What is a transport vesicle?
