Plant Cells
What is the organelle that is like a network of flattened tubes that helps transport proteins within the cell?
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
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.
Mitochondria
What is the basic unit of life?
cells
I eat breakfast to give me energy for the day. Which characteristic of living things is this an example of?
All living things take in nutrients for energy.
Identify two organelles that are in both plant and animal cells.
mitochondria, cell membrane, lysosome, vesicle, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi body, ribosomes, vacuole, cytoplasm, nucleus
This organelle is found in all animal cells and plant cells. It is a thin outer layer that lets things in and out of the cell.
cell membrane
This organelle could be compared to a garburator.
Lysosome
All plants and animals are made of _____________.
cells
A baby gets larger as it gets older. Which characteristic of living things is this an example of?
living things grow
What do chloroplasts do in the plant cell?
Chloroplasts have chlorophyll that collect the light energy from the sun to use in photosynthesis to create food for the plant.
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 and it controls the functions of the cell.
Nucleus
This organelle breaks down food and nutrients, as well as waste.
Lysosomes
All cells come from other cells. True or false?
True
A cat has kittens. Which characteristic of living things is this an example of?
living things reproduce
How is a vacuole in a plant cell different than an animal cell?
A plant cell has one large vacuole but an animal cell has many small vacuoles.
Explain the job of the cytoplasm.
Cytoplasm helps hold the floating organelles in place and this is where the chemical reactions take place.
What is the function of the ribosomes?
Ribosomes make proteins. They are found on the Rough ER and scattered throughout the cell.
Organisms are all made of many cells. True or false?
False
Someone pinches me and I jump. Which characteristic of living things is this an example of?
living things respond to stimuli/environment
Name 3 differences between plant and animal cells.
plants have a cell wall, plants have chloroplasts to make their own food, plants have a more square shape, plants have one large vacuole.
Explain how the Golgi Body functions.
The Golgi apparatus works in the cells like a mailman. It packages and sorts proteins so they are ready to leave the cell.
This organelle could be compared to a highway because it transports proteins.
endoplasmic reticulum
Tell me three facts about cells.
All living things have cells, cells are the smallest living unit, cells come from other cells, etc.
You have to change a baby's diaper. Which characteristic of living things is this an example of?
living things produce waste
