This type of cell is always unicellular. 

What is a prokaryotic cell? 

100

This is where eukaryotic cells store their genetic information.

What is a nucleus? 

100

What are the two main types of cell division? 

What are mitosis and meiosis? 

100

All living things have this. In Eukaryotes, it is located in the nucleus of each cell.

What is a universal genetic code (DNA)? 

100

This man discovered plants are made of cells. 

Who is Matthias Schleiden? 

200

This type of cell contains chloroplasts and a cell wall. 

What is a plant cell? 

200

Cells use this to control the flow of materials in and out of the cell in order to maintain homeostasis. 

What is the cell membrane? 

200

This type of cell division is a two-stage process.

What is Meiosis? 

200

The three parts of this are:

1. All living things are made of cells.

2. Cells are the basic unit of life.

3. All cells come from pre-existing cells. 

What is Cell Theory?

200

This man discovered that animals are made of cells. 

Who is Theodor Schwann? 

300

These types of cells are defined by having a "true nucleus." 

What is a eukaryotic cell? 

300

This organelle takes in proteins and modifies them for other uses around the cell. 

What is the Golgi Apparatus (Golgi body)?

300

In this phase of cell division, the chromosomes are in a straight line down the middle of the cell.

What is Metaphase? 

300

This is an organism's ability to maintain a stable internal environment. 

What is homeostasis? 

300

This was the first person to observe bacteria cells with a microscope.

Who was Anton Van Leeuwenhoek? 

400

These types of cells have always have centrioles, which are used in cell division. 

What are animal cells? 

400

Both of these organelles are related to life function of needing energy within the cell. 

What are chloroplasts and mitochondria? 

400
This is what occurs during Prophase I in meiosis, and it results in increased genetic variability. 

What is crossover? 

400

This is a group of tissues all working together to serve the same purpose. 

What is an organ? 

400

This was the person who noticed that plants have unique structures under a microscope. He called them "cells."

Who is Robert Hooke? 

500

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have these three components. 

What are a plasma (cell) membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes?

500

These two organelles both help plants stand up straight. 

What is the vacuole and Cell Wall? 

500

This type of cell division occurs all over the body of multicellular organisms. 

What is mitosis? 

500

This is a group of organs working together to accomplish one life process within an organism. 

What is an organ system? 

500

This scientist found proof for the third part of cell theory: all cells come from preexisting cells. 

Who is Rudolf Virchow?
