Name that Organelle

This is the "powerhouse" of the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
Only this type of cell has chloroplasts.
What is a plant cell?
This part controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
These red-colored cells carry oxygen to help the body heal.
What are red blood cells?
Red blood cells are tiny cells in your blood that carry oxygen all around your body.
Think of them like little delivery trucks that pick up oxygen from your lungs and bring it to every part of your body so your muscles and organs can work well. They also help take away a waste called carbon dioxide to be breathed out.
Cells do this when they make new ones to replace damaged tissue.
What is healing or regeneration? Cells make copies of themselves to replace damaged or old cells. This helps your body heal when you get a cut or injury. It’s like how a copy machine makes more papers - your cells make more cells to keep you healthy.
This organelle stores genetic material.
What is the nucleus?
This type of cell usually has a round shape.
What is an animal cell?
These break down waste in animal cells.
What are lysosomes?
Under the microscope, these cells look like fibers and help muscles move.
What are muscle cells?
We dissected this to observe real muscles and bones.
What is a chicken wing?
These make proteins and can float in cytoplasm or sit on the ER.
What is are ribosomes?
Only this type of cell has a large central vacuole.
What is a plant cell?
These organelles are like highways, helping move materials.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
These cells fight off germs and help with healing.
What are white blood cells?
White blood cells are like the soldiers of your body. They fight off germs like bacteria and viruses that can make you sick.
When something bad gets into your body, white blood cells go to work to find and destroy it. They help keep you healthy by protecting you from getting sick or helping you get better faster.
These cells carry oxygen and nutrients to injured areas.
What are blood cells?
This organelle is like a mailroom that packages and ships proteins.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This type of cell does not have a cell wall.
What is an animal cell?)
These tiny factories make proteins.
What are ribosomes?
We saw these tiny parts inside cells that help them do their jobs.
What are organelles?
When you get a cut, these cells help form a scab.
What are platelets?
Platelets are tiny cells in your blood that help stop you from bleeding when you get a cut.
When you get hurt, platelets rush to the cut and stick together to form a plug, kind of like a bandage, to stop the bleeding. Then they help your body start healing. They’re like little helpers in your blood that fix leaks!
This jelly-like substance fills the cell and holds organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
Both types of cells have this protective outer layer.
What is the cell membrane?
This part helps the plant cell make food from sunlight.
What is the chloroplast?
DAILY DOUBLE!
Who was Robert Hooke?
Cells are often called the ____________ of life.
What are the building blocks or basic unit of life?
Cells are called the basic unit of life because they are the tiniest living parts that make up all plants, animals, and people. They do all the important jobs needed to keep living things alive and working.
