Organelles
What do Ribosomes do?
make proteins
What is the control center of the cell? (the brain)
Nucleus
Cells are the basic unit of what?
life
Cells were first observed through a telecope.
False. A microscope
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic
Microscopic single-celled organisms like bacteria and archaea belong to this simple cell group.
Prokaryotic
What is the jelly-like fluid that all other organelles float in?
Cytoplasm
What organelle controls what comes in and out of the cell? What enters and leaves? Like a door.
Cell Membrane
All ______ things are made up of one or more cells
living
All things are made of cells.
False, all living things
Plant vs Animal
Unlike plant cells which have a rigid outer wall, animal cells rely solely on this flexible outer boundary to control what enters and leaves the cell.
Cell Membrane
What organelle acts like the chemical cleaner of the cell? It cleans up waste and worn down cell parts.
Lysosomes
Acts as passageways and transportation system for ribosomes, proteins and lipids
(ER) Endoplasmic Reticulum
All cells come from other ______ _____
pre-existing cells / or / other living cells
All organisms are made of more than one cell.
False, unicellular organisms only have one cell.
Plant vs Animal
Found only in plant cells, these green organelles absorb sunlight to make food through photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
This organelle converts nutrients (like glucose and fats) into usable energy stored in a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Mitochondria
what organelle helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins, delivering them both in and out of the cell. Like the UPS
Golgi Bodies
All cells need to use ______ to function. It happens inside of the cell.
Energy
Hereditary information is stored in the nucleus.
True, the DNA is in the nucleus
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic
While eukaryotic organisms can be single-celled or multicellular, all prokaryotes exist as this type of organism.
Unicellular or single-celled
What function does the nucleolus do?
creates the ribosomes
What is the automatic, self-regulating process that living organisms use to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the outside world
homeostasis
Hereditary Information is Passed via ____
DNA
Photosynthesis occurs in more than just plant cells.
True. Some protists and bacteria also preform photosynthesis.
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic
Mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus are examples of these specialized internal structures found only in eukaryotic cells.
membrane-bound organelles
