This scientist was told us that all cells come from preexisting cells:
Who is Rudolf Virchow
100
This type of cell lacks a nucleus, membrane bound organelles, and is generally unicellular and simple:
What is a prokaryote
100
This structural polysaccharide makes up the cell walls of plants:
What is CELLULOSE
100
This refers to the "little organs" housed inside eukaryotic cells:
What are ORGANELLES
100
This is the largest organelle inside plant cells, and would immediately give a cell away as being a plant cell:
What is the large CENTRAL VACUOLE
200
This scientist was the first to improve upon the compound microscope to a much more functional state:
Who is Leeuwenhoek
200
This type of cell is literally translated to mean "before the kernel"
What is a prokaryote
200
This type of cell has a nucleus, membrane bound organelles and is generally multicellular:
What is a EUKARYOTE
200
This organelle dots the surface of rough ER, and is also found free-floating in the cytoplasm:
What are RIBOSOMES
200
Literally translated, this means "Cell Skeleton" and is made of three types of fibers inside of cells:
What is the CYTOSKELETON
300
This scientist named cells cells:
Who is Robert Hooke
300
This is the region inside a prokaryotic cell where the DNA is found:
What is the NUCLEOID
300
Literally translated, "eukaryote" means this:
What is TRUE KERNEL
300
This organelle acts like a post office inside cells, modifying products before shipping them out:
What is the GOLGI APPARATUS (GOLGI BODIES)
300
These are referred to as the workbenches of cells. They are the site of protein synthesis:
What are RIBOSOMES
400
This scientist is the first to tell us that all plants are made of cells:
Who is Matthias Schleiden
400
All cells have the following three structures:
What is a CELL MEMBRANE, CYTOPLASM & DNA!
400
This largest organelle inside eukaryotic cells is where the DNA is housed:
What is the NUCLEUS
400
This organelle is responsible for clearing out cellular "junk," and in general for acting as digestive compartments for cells:
What are LYSOSOMES
400
This type of ER lacks ribosomes, and therefore carries out different functions than rough ER:
What is a SMOOTH ER
500
This scientist is the one to inform us that all animals are made of cells:
Who is Theodor Schwann
500
Animal cells lack these, an extra layer of protection shown in plant, bacterial and fungal cells:
What is a CELL WALL!
500
This is how genetic information gets from the nucleus to the cytoplasm:
What is through a NUCLEAR PORE
500
This is what lysosomes are filled with, it allows them to carry out their functions of digestion:
What is ENZYMES
500
This molecule delivers the genetic info found in the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it can then be translated into proteins:
What is RNA
