Organelles
Mixed
100
This organelle is essential in a plant cell. It has a rigid outer layer that that protects the cell and helps it stand up.
Cell wall
100

What is the organelle that consists of tubes and membranes that twist through the cell, forming tunnels.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

100
This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells. They are the powerhouses of the cell. They are responsible for making carbon dioxide, water, and lots of energy.
Mitochondria
100
Identify two organelles that are in both plant and animal cells.
mitochondria, vacuoles, cell membranes, nucleus, etc.
200
This organelle takes in sunlight in a plant cell and aids in photosynthesis.
chloroplasts
200
This organelle is found in all animal cells and plant cells. It is a thin outer covering that lets food, water, and gases enter the cell while letting wastes leave.
cell membrane
200
Daily Double: Explain the difference between the vacuoles in plant and animal cells.
Plant cells have one large vacuole, while animal cells have many small vacuoles.
200

True or False: Cells are born from per-existing cells?

True

300
DAILY DOUBLE: What is responsible for giving the plant cell its color, and in what organelle is this pigment found?
chlorophyll, found in cholorplasts
300

This organelle has one of the most important functions in a cell. It holds DNA which is what makes you have the traits you have.

Nucleus

300

What do we call the endoplasmic reticulum when it is covered with ribosomes?

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.

300

Where in the cell is DNA located?

Nucleus

400

This organelle stores water, food, and waste. When it is full it keeps the plant standing upright, when it is not the plant may wilt.

The Vacoule

400

This jelly-like organelle helps hold the floating organelles in place within the cell membrane.

Cytoplasm

400

Which organelle is responsible for synthesizing proteins? Hint: there are many in one cell.

Ribosomes

400
What organelle is found in both plant and animal cells that help make up the external layer of the cells?
cell membrane
500

In order to sustain itself, the food making process is different in plants than in animal cells? What is the process called?

Photosynthesis

500

This organelle works in the cells like a mailman. It packages proteins and changes them so they are ready to leave the cell.

The Golgi Apparatus.

500
What part of an animal cell is attached externally and aids in its ability to move?
Flagella
500

Identify the organelle(s) that are only found in plant cells.  

chloroplasts, cell wall
