Discovery of Cells & Cell Theory
Before cells could be discovered, this technology had to be invented first.
What is the microscope?
The type of organism is able to make its own food.
What is an autotroph?
This is the ability to produce offspring, which all living things can do.
What is reproduction?
All cells, both eukaryotic and prokarytic, contain this jelly-like substance.
What is cytoplasm?
This organelle that converts glucose into ATP is often called the powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
Phages kill this type of living organism.
What is bacteria?
Complete this tenet of modern cell theory:
The cell is . . .
What is "the basic unit of life"?
This type of organism cannot make its own food, but instead must consume food to survive.
What is a heterotroph?
All living increase in size and complexity over time, exhibiting this characteristic of life.
What is growth and development?
This so-called "control center" is only found in eukaryotic cells.
What is the nucleus?
DAILY DOUBLE!!
This cell organelle receives and ships out proteins to their final destination.
What is the golgi apparatus?
In order to survive, all phages need this.
What is a host/host cell?
Complete this tenet of modern cell theory:
All cells arise . . .
What is "from other cells"?
Daily Double
All animals and fungi are classified as this.
What is a heterotroph?
DAILY DOUBLE!
This is a state in which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
Bacterial cells are always this type of cell.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This organelle contains a powerful digestive enzyme to break down waste materials and foreign substances.
What are lysosomes?
DAILY DOUBLE!!
While phages kill the most organisms on Earth, these two organisms are responsible for killing the most humans. (Name one)
What are mosquitoes or humans?
DAILY DOUBLE!
This is the scientist that first discovered cells.
Who is Robert Hooke?
All green plants, some protists, and some bacteria are classified as this.
What is an autotroph?
This term refers to passing on traits from parent to offspring through DNA.
What is heredity?
These cells were the first type of live to emerge on Earth approximately 3.8 billion years ago.
What are prokaryotes?
This organelle that only exists in animal cells is responsible for organizing the microtubules in the cytoskeleton.
What are the centrioles?
This term describes the movement of material inside a cell.
What is cyclosis?
This dutch scientists was the first to see and describe microorganisms under a microscope.
Who is Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
Autotrophs and heterotrophs are categories based on this.
What is how food is obtained?
This is the term for chemical processes that occur within an organism to produce energy.
What is metabolism?
DAILY DOUBLE!
Protists, a unicellular organism that we viewed in our microscope lab, are this type of cell.
What are eukaryotes?
Instead of just a single layer, this organelle actually has a double layer membrane.
What is the nucleus?
This hair-like substance is found on the surface of some cells.
What is cilia?
