Plant Cell
This structure protects the plant cell and its organelles. (Outermost layer of a plant cell)
What is the cell wall?
Animal cells do not need chloroplasts because they do not perform this process.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the boss of the cell; home to the DNA.
What is the nucleus?
This structure makes ribosomes.
What is the nucleolus?
This structure allows cells to move using small hairs on the outside of the cell
What are cilia?
This organelle in the Plant cell conducts photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
This organelle in animal cells breaks down old cell parts, acting as a trash collector.
What is a Lysosome?
This is the “powerhouse of the cell” and creates energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
This structure makes proteins.
What is a ribosome?
This is not an organelle but contains important information about the cell.
What is a chromosome?
This is the typical shape of most plant cells versus animal cells.
What cells are rectangular & rigid versus round & flexible?
This protein structure is needed for cell division.
What is a centriole?
This cell organelle controls what goes in, and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This structure packages and stores proteins.
What are the golgi bodies?
These cells are rigid and square-shaped under a microscope.
What is a plant cell?
This makes the plant green.
What is chlorophyll?
These are found in animal cells but not in plant cells.
(name at least 2)
What are lysosomes and centrioles?
This cell organelle takes up a lot of space and is found to be very large only in certain types of cells.
What is the large vacuole in plant cells?
This structure transports materials through the cell. There are two types. Name both.
What are the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
This invention allowed scientists to first discover cells.
What is the microscope?
These are found in plant cells but NOT in animal cells. (name at least 2)
What is the cell wall, chlorophyll, chloroplasts, large vacuole?
Animal cells, compared to plant cells have more of this organelle as animal cells move and need energy.
What is a mitochondria?
Organelles are found floating in this jelly-like substance bound by the cell membrane. It is NOT an organelle.
What is Cytoplasm?
This is a specialized structure in a cell that performs a specific function.
What is an organelle?
These are the 3 main ideas of the Cell Theory.
1. All living things are made up of one or more cells
2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things
3. All cells come from pre-existing cells
