Organelles
Which organelle is responsible for making proteins?
Ribosomes
The __________ is a jelly-like substance inside the cell where organelles are kept in place.
Cytoplasm
True or False: Plant cells have both a cell wall and a cell membrane.
True! Membrane to allow substances in and out of the cell, Wall to keep structure.
What is the Flagella?
Whip-like appendage helping the cell to move (locomotion).
What's are cells?
The basic unit of life (building blocks). They are the smallest living thing and need a microscope to see them.
Which organelle controls all the activities of the cell and contains DNA?
Nucleus
What part of the animal cell controls what enters and leaves the cell?
Cell membrane
Which of the following is not typically found in plant cells?
A. Chloroplast
B. Cell wall
C. Centriole
D. Large central vacuole
Centriole
True or False: Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells.
True: they are single-cell organisms that are less complex. Eukaryotic or complex and include plant and animal cells
Name one example of a prokaryotic organism.
Bacteria & fungus
Which organelle is known as the "powerhouse of the cell"?
Mitochondria, breaking down food and oxygen to create energy.
True or False: Animal cells can have large vacuoles, but they are usually larger than those in plant cells.
False: animals are much smaller- they have many more cells and require less water for life.
Which organelle in plant cells captures sunlight to perform photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
True or false? Prokaryotic cells have cytoplasm to hold the organelles in place?
True, all cells contain cytoplasm, gel like substance
What's the main job / purpose of the Prokaryotic cells?
To reproduce
Which organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion?
Golgi Apparatus
True or False: Animal cells have a rigid cell wall instead of a flexible cell membrane.
False, animals have bones for structure. Their cells only need a membrane.
Why is the vacuole (storing water) larger in plants than animals?
To store water and to help the plant remain upright
Where is the DNA found in a prokaryotic cell?
Floating around the middle of the cell. No nucleus to protect it.
What is the function of the nucleus?
Controlling the cell & protecting the DNA
True or False: The endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes that attach to its surface.
Name the 4 ways animal cells are different than plant cells?
1. They are round
2. They don't have chloroplasts
3. Their vacuole is much smaller
4. They don't have a cell wall (they have bones instead).
Name the 4 ways plant cells are different than animal cells?
1. They are rectangular
2. They have chloroplasts
3. Their vacuole is much larger
4. They have a cell wall (they don't have bones instead and require structure).
What makes a prokaryotic cell different from eukaryotic cell?
Prokaryotic - has flagella, DNA floating around, single cell, no nucleus
Eukaryotic - has a nucleus, is a complex cell, many cells together can build tissues or organs
Name 3 things that are in ALL cells — whether they are eukaryotic (plant and animal) or prokaryotic (bacteria and some fungi like yeast):
Cell membrane – Controls what goes in and out of the cell.
Cytoplasm – Jelly-like fluid where cell processes happen.
Ribosomes – Make proteins needed by the cell.
