What is the nucleus?
100
The first cells were not seen until what was invented?
What is the microscope?
100
They make up proteins
What are amino acids?
100
The transport center of the cell
What is the endoplasmic reticulum? (ER)
200
Plant cells have this to give them shape. Animal cells do not have this.
What is the cell wall?
200
This is a flexible, permeable outer skin on animal cells
What is a cell membrane?
200
The first cells were found in a piece of ____________.
What is cork?
200
A plant bends toward the light; it is displaying __________.
What is a response to stimuli?
200
A cell without a nucleus
What is a prokaryotic cell?
300
Plant cells have these, but animal cells do not - they turn sunlight into food.
What are chloroplasts?
300
This organelle is in both plants and animals. It handles wastes and water. It's much bigger in a plant cell, and there are more of them
What is a vacuole?
300
The first animal cells seen were from in a drop of ______________ and were called ___________.
What is pond water and animalicules?
300
All cells contain __________, which is one of the six characteristics of living things
What is DNA?
300
This must be large for a cell to survive and not starve
What is the surface-to-volume ratio?
400
This is located inside the nucleus - it is the genetic code that tells the cell what to do.
What is DNA? (deoxyribonucleic acid)
400
This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells. It is considered the 'powerhouse' of a cell, and contains it's own RNA - a form of DNA.
What is the mitochondria?
400
Cells on average are about this size
What is micrometers?
400
These TWO chemicals provide energy to living things
What are carbohydrates (starches) and lipids?
400
The organelle that takes smaller molecules and combines them in a chemical reaction to form larger molecules
What is the Golgi complex?
500
This is the general word for a functional cell part

The waxy substance that makes up the cell membrane (full name)
What is the phospholipid bilayer?
500
The force exerted by the water entering (osmosis) the vacuole of a plant cell, which then swells exerting internal force on the cell wall
What is the turgor pressure?
