Tell Me About It
Cell Theory
100

This organelle is essential in a plant cell. It has a rigid outer layer that that protects the cell and helps it stand up.

What is the Cell Wall?

100

The organelle that consists of tubes and membranes that twist through the cell, acting as a transportation system.

Daily Double

What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?

100

This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells. They are the powerhouses of the cell. They are responsible for making carbon dioxide, water, and lots of energy.

What is the Mitochondria?

100

Identify two organelles that are in both plant and animal cells.

Daily Double



mitochondria, vacuoles, cell membranes, nucleus, etc.

100

I discovered and named cells.

Who is Robert Hooke?

200

This organelle takes in sunlight in a plant cell and aids in photosynthesis.

What is a Chloroplast?

200

This organelle is found in all animal cells and plant cells. It is a thin outer covering that regulates what can come into and move out of the cell.

What is the Cell Membrane?

200

Daily Double: Explain the difference between the vacuoles in plant and animal cells.

Plant cells have one large vacuole, while animal cells have many small vacuoles.

200

This important genetic material is protected by the Nucleus.

+100 Bonus Points: What is its scientific name?

What is DNA?


Scientific Name: Deoxyribonucleic Acid

200

Tell me three facts about cells. (Maybe think about the Cell Theory?)


Daily Double

All living things have cells, cells are the smallest living unit, cells come from other cells, etc.

300

This substance is found in the Chloroplast and aids in Photosynthesis.

DAILY DOUBLE

What is Chlorophyll?

300

This organelle has one of the most important functions in a cell. It holds DNA which is what makes you have the traits you have.

Nucleus

300

This organelle is often found in animal cells, but less often found in plant cells. It is used to break down food and nutrients, as well as old cell parts and bacteria.

What are Lysosomes?

300
EXPLAIN THIS: How do you properly carry a microscope?

Hold the arm and support the base.

300

Concluded all animal tissues are composed of cells. declared that the cell is the basic building blocks of all animals

Theodor Schwann

EXPLAIN THIS: What is the role of the Vacuole? What does it do for plant cells?

The vacuole stores water, food, and waste. It adds structure to the plant cell AND provides extra water.

400

Explain the job of the cytoplasm.

Cytoplasm helps hold the floating organelles in place. Chemical Reactions happen here.

400

Two main types of cells (not plant and animal):


+100 bonus tell me how they are different

Prokaryote v. Eukaryote


Pro = no nucleus

Eu = nucleus

400

Which organelle is responsible for making plants green? What does it do?

Chloroplast - Photosynthesis/Makes Food

400

Concluded all plant tissues are composed of cells. declared that the cell is the basic building blocks of all plants

Matthias Schleiden

500

EXPLAIN THIS: How is the food making process different in plant than in animal cells?

Plant cells have chloroplasts to help make their food.

500

Explain how the Golgi Body functions.

The Golgi apparatus works in the cells like a mailman. It packages proteins and transports them so they are ready to leave the cell.

500

Explain the difference in the external structure of plants and animal cells.  

Double Points: Why is this difference necessary?

Plant cells are strong and held upright by the Cell Wall, while animal cells do not have a firm outer layer enabling their structure to move freely. Plant cells need the extra structure help them stay sturdy.

500

What organelle is found in both plant and animal cells that help make up the external layer of the cells?

What is the Cell Membrane?

500

First person to observe bacteria and protozoa (single-celled animal) under a microscope

Anton van Leeuwenhoek
