Cell Discovery
This man observed cork with his microscope and called the tiny boxes 'cells'
Robert Hooke
This fills the space inside a cell. It is semi-fluid and is composed of water and dissolved materials.
cytoplasm
This organelle provides the cell with the ATP it needs to perform its functions and activities.
mitochondria
A parent measuring a child's height monthly exhibits what characteristic of life?
Growth
This type of cell is a square shape because it has a cell wall.
Plants
This cell type contains a nucleus and organelles (such as mitochondria).
eukaryotic cells
This organelle directs cell processes by providing DNA instructions. It is surrounded by its own membrane and is covered with pores.
nucleus
These structures are used for cell movement. The first is long and there are usually very few of them. The second are short and there are usually many of them.
flagella and cilia
A mama duck just hatched 6 new baby ducklings. Which characteristic of life does this represent?
Reproduction
This type of cell has no cell wall, only a membrane.
Animal cell
What instrument will you use to view a cell?
Microscope
This organelle is a series of flattened membranes. Cell products pass through these membranes and become packaged for delivery in or out of the cell.
Golgi apparatus
This organelle digests worn out cell parts and also plays a role to defend the cell from infection.
lysosome
When you look at a leaf and a sample of human skin, we see that they are both made of tiny "building blocks". What characteristic of life does this represent?
All living things are composed of cells
This type of cell can make its own food through photosynthesis.
Plant cell
This cell type has no nucleus or other organelles. Bacteria are the only example of this cell type.
prokaryotic cell
This organelle is a series of interconnected passageways. Proteins and lipids are synthesized (put together) here also. There are two varieties 'S' and 'R'.
endoplasmic reticulum
These are made by the nucleolus and their function is to follow DNA instructions to make stuff. They are free-floating or may be found attached to the ER.
ribosomes
A sunflower always faces the direction of the sun.
Respond to Stimulus
These are the two organelles a plant cell has but animal cell does not.
Chloroplast and Cell Wall
What are statements of the cell theory... list the 3 statements
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. Cells are the basic unit of life.
3. Cells come from pre-existing cells
This organelle is found only in animal cells. It is made of microtubules and is thought to play a role in cell division.
centrioles
The three differences between plant and animal cells are:
1. Plant cells have cell walls. 2. Plant cells have chloroplasts 3. Animal cells have centrioles.
Cells need energy to process.
Metabolism
This is the pigment that gives a plant cell its color, found in the chloroplast.
Chlorophyll
