Prokaryotes
Many prokaryotes have this whip-like structure used for movement.
What is a flagellum?
All Eukaryotes have one of these.
What is a nucleus?
This structure makes ATP energy for all eukaryotes.
What is a mitochondrion?
The structure is made of a carbohydrate called cellulose and is only found in plant cells.
What is the cell wall?
Hydrophobic means this.
What is water-fearing?
These organisms, found almost everywhere on our planet, are an example of a prokaryote.
What are bacteria?
These are eukaryotic cells that contain chloroplasts, a cell wall, and a large central vacuole.
What are plant cells?
This structure acts as the "post office" of the cell by packaging molecules for movement often out of the cell.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
If the cell were a school, this structure would be the principal or main office.
What is the nucleus?
This part of the cell membrane forms a bilayer, helping to form a barrier.
What are phosphlipids?
The DNA of a prokaryote can be found here.
What is in the cytoplasm?
What is cytoplasm?
These organelles are only found in plant cells. It makes sugars through the process of photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
The structure, found around the nucleus, comes in a rough and smooth form.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
This terms describes the ability of cell membranes to let certain substances cross into the cell but not others.
What is semipermeable or selectively permeable?
These structures are little protein factories within the cell. Eukaryotes have them too!
What are ribosomes?
This structure helps eukaryotic cells move substances into and out of the cell. Prokaryotes have it too!
What is the cell membrane?
This organelle used for storage is much larger in plant cells.
These structures pinch off the Golgi and are tiny membrane-bound compartments for moving substances out of the cell.
What are vesicles?
This is used to supply energy for active transport.
What is ATP?
The root words "pro" and "kary" mean this. (It's a clue telling what it doesn't have.)
What is "before nucleus"?
The root work "Eu" means this.
What is "true"?
This organelle contains digestive enzymes and breaks down cell waste.
That is the lysosome?
This structure found in protists like the paramecium are used to remove excess water from cells.
What is the contractile vacuole?
The movement of water across a cell membrane is called this.
What is osmosis?
