100

This German scientist used microscopes to look at plant cells and helped form Cell Theory.

Who is Matthias Schleiden

100

Structures inside eukaryotic cells that have specialized functions.

What is organelles

100

These proteins form a threadlike framework that helps give a cell its shape.

What is the cytoskeleton

100

This series of chemical reactions can convert energy from food molecules into usable energy for the cell called ATP.

What is cellular respiration

100

This key ingredient in cellular respiration is not needed for fermentation.

What is oxygen

200

This German scientist studied animal cells in his efforts to contribute to Cell Theory.

Who is Theodor Schwann

200

The largest organelle in most eukaryotic cells.

What is the nucleus

200

These small, hairlike appendages can move a cell or move molecules away from the cell.

What are cilia

200

A cell can use this process to get energy if it has no oxygen or low levels of oxygen.

What is fermentation

200

This German doctor was responsible for the discovery that all cells come from preexisting cells.

Who was Ruduolf Virchow

300

The main ingredient for a cell, making up 70% of its material.

What is water

300

These organelles found inside plants and some protists use light energy and make food.

What are chloroplasts

300

This long, tail-like appendage can whip back and forth to help a cell move.

What is flagella

300

Cellular respiration occurs in these locations within a cell.

What is the cytoplasm and mitochondria

300

DNA, which contains the instructions for cell growth, cell reproduction, and cell processes is this type of macromolecule.

What are nucleic acids
400

These form when several small molecules join together to form large molecules

What is a macromolecule

400
These organelles are important because they help remove harmful substances from cells.

What is smooth endoplasmic reticulum

400

This is the process of moving substances through a cell membrane without using any energy provided by the cell.

What is passive transport

400

This is the process in which glucose is broken down into smaller molecules.

What is glycolysis

400

Plant cells have these three organelles which animal cells do NOT have.

What are chloroplasts, vacuoles, and a cell wall.

500

This states that all living things are made of one or more cells, the cell is the smallest unit of life, and cells come from preexisting cells.

What is cell theory

500

This organelle looks like a stack of pancakes and helps prepare proteins for specific functions.

What is the Golgi Apparatus

500

This is the movement of material through a cell membrane only by using ATP, or energy from the cell.

What is active transport

500

This process of chemical reactions is used by plants to convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into energy.

What is photosynthesis

500

This process uses a cells vesicles to release wastes from a cell.

What is exocytosis
