Plant Cell
What makes the plant green?
Chlorophyll
Why don’t animal cells need chloroplasts?
They don’t do photosynthesis
This cell Organelle takes up a lot of space but only certain types of cells
The large Vacuole in plant cells
Why do plant cells need chloroplasts but animal cells do not?
Plants make their own food; animals eat
Robert Hooke Observes _______
What is cells from cork
What organelle in the Plant cell conducts photosynthesis?
What is the chloroplast.
what is the “powerhouse of the cell”?
mitochondria.
What are the similarities between plant and animal cells? Name at least 3
Both have nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria,
what is the purpose of the cell membrane
to control what gets in and out of the cell
Which cells have chloroplasts?
Plant cells
What does a plant cell have that animal cells do not?
(name at least 2)
Cell wall, chlorophyll, chloroplasts, large vacuole
If you looked at an animal cell under a microscope, which major structure would be absent compared to a plant cell, and why is that important?
Chloroplasts – animal cells don't perform photosynthesis
This cell organelle controls what goes in, and out of the cell
Cell membrane
True or False
Plant Cells can make their own food
TRUE
If you observe a rigid square-shaped cell under a microscope, what type is it, and how do you know?
Plant cell – has cell wall giving rigid structure
______, is the structure that protects the cell and its organelles. (Outer most layer of a plant cell)
Cell wall
Name one reason animal cells typically require more mitochondria.
They often move more and need more energy
What are the key differences between an animal cell and a plant cell
What is the cell wall, central vacuole, and the chloroplast?
A scientist claims to have found a new organism. Under the microscope, you see a nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Is this a plant or animal organism? Explain your reasoning.
Plant – only plant cells contain chloroplasts
What is the 3 main ideas of the Cell Theory
2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things
3. All cells come from pre-existing cells
Compare the shape of most plant cells versus animal cells.
Plant: rectangular & rigid; Animal: round & flexible
_________, is the boss of the cell; home to the DNA.
Nucleus
Organelles are found floating in this jelly-like substance bound by the cell membrane.
What is Cytoplasm?
Define “organelle.”
A specialized structure in a cell that performs a specific function
What invention allowed scientists to first discover cells?
Microscope
