Organelles 2: Reloaded
Things that AREN'T organelles, but are still related to cells
MORE things that are related to cells
Really hard bonus questions
(These are NOT normal jeopardy questions)
100
a large oval organelle that contains the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA and controls many of the cells activities - "control center"
What is Nucleus
100
a rigid supporting layer that surrounds the cells of plants & some other organisms
What is Cell Wall
100
a group of similar cells that perform a specific function
What is Tissue
100
This man discovered cells
Who is Robert Hooke

What’s the difference between regular food and organic food?
It’s all about how a food or its ingredients are grown. To be considered “organic,” the food has to be produced without the use of synthetic (man-made) chemicals. So that means that organic vegetables can’t have synthetic pesticides or herbicides used to keep bugs off them and other plants from competing with them. (Synthetic fertilizers can, however, be used.) Organic meat can’t come from animals treated with hormones or antibiotics.
200
an organelle in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell
What is Golgi Apparatus
200
a sac like organelle that stores water, food & other materials
What is Vacuole
200
cells that do NOT have a nucleus - for example - bacterial cells
What is Prokaryotes
200
The first Microbiologist
Who is Leeuwenhoek (Very forgettable name)

How long can turtles live?
Large tortoises have been known to live well into their second century (one in a Calcutta zoo was actually reputed to be around 250 years old, but it died a few years ago). But how long could they live? Most animals (including people) start to automatically break down after a certain period. Cells don’t regenerate like they used to, and organs slowly deteriorate and fail. But turtles… apparently this doesn’t happen to them. They don’t seem to have this automatic shutoff built into them, so they don’t age like other animals—a hundred-year-old turtle could have organs as fresh as a teenage turtle. Unfortunately, they can still succumb to disease, or predators, or Foot Soldiers, and eventually the odds add up and they die. From something.
300
rod shaped organelles that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions - the "powerhouse" of the cell
What is Mitochondria
300
an organelle in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and changes it to an energy form that cells can use in making food
What is Chloroplast
300
cells that have a nucleus - for example - plant, animals, fungi & protist cells
What is Eukaryotes
300
All <____________> are made up of cells
What are living things

Do you know why there are black holes in space? Are there any undiscovered plants [sic?] in space?
Black holes aren’t really holes in space, exactly. You might think of them as like really really really really heavy planets. Like, when a big star gets old, it can collapse on itself, getting small, but still having the same mass. (It’s like if you were to squish a marshmallow down into a little lump. It’d take up less space, but it would still weigh the same.) Even though they’re smaller, black holes still have lots of gravity—so much gravity, that they even pull light down towards them. So they look totally black.
400
an organelle that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another- "transport system"
What is Endoplasmic reticulum
400
a cell organelle which contains chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones that can be used by the rest of the cell
What is Lysosome
400
all organisms are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of structure and organization of an organism; all cells come from preexisting cells
What is Parts of the cell theory
400
Cells provide <_________> for the body
What is structure

What is the difference between Moths and Butterflies?
Moths tell only secrets. Butterflies tell only lies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_butterflies_and_moths
500
the thick (jelly like) fluid region of a cell located inside the cell membrane (in prokaryotes) or between the cell membrane and nucleus (in eukaryotes)
What is Cytoplasm
500
a round structure inside the nucleus where ribosomes are made
What is Nucleolus

Organization of the human body

Why is the sky blue, and not green or black?
The sky is blue because of all the methane gas in our atmosphere. The light reaching our planet has all wavelengths of color mixed together, but certain gases scatter certain colors more than others. Blue light gets absorbed by methane molecules and then scattered around, making the sky blue wherever you look. If you were to look at the sky from the moon, yeah, it would look black. That’s because there’s no atmosphere on the moon. No atmosphere, no gas, no gas, no light scattering. No blue.
