Cell Basics
The smallest unit of life that carries out all life processes.
What is a cell?
The organelle produces energy for the cell through cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
These simple cells lack a nucleus and are usually very small.
What are prokaryotic cells?
These cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells and contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What are eukaryotic cells?
Having more than one cell; eukaryotes can be this but prokaryotes cannot.
What is being multicellular?
The structure that holds the cell's genetic material and regulates the cell's functions.
What is the nucleus?
This organelle is found in plant cell and performs photosynthesis by converting light energy into chemical energy.
What is the chloroplast?
These groups of organisms is made up of prokaryotic cells. (Hint: two)
What are the domains of Bacteria and Archaea?
The four kingdoms that are made up of eukaryotic cells.
What are Plants, Animals, Fungi, Protists?
This molecule is found in all cells and carries hereditary information.
What is DNA?
The process in which cells make energy from food.
What is cellular respiration?
The small structures are responsible for making proteins.
What are the ribosomes?
What structure forms the outside of the prokaryotic cell?
What is the cell wall?
This organelle helps transport proteins and other materials within the cell.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
The organelles that are present in all cells. (Hint: 4)
What is ribosomes, cell membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material?
The thin barrier that surrounds the cell and controls what enters and leaves it.
What is the cell membrane?
The organelle that modifies, packages, and transports materials in the cell.
What is the golgi apparatus?
This is the area where DNA is founded in prokaryotic cells.
What is the nucleoid?
The large organelle found in plant cells that stores water and helps maintain structure.
What is the central vacuole?
The outer protective layer that surrounds some prokaryotic cells and helps protect them.
What is the capsule?
A gel-like substance fills the inside of the cell and holds organelles in place.
What is the cytoplasm?
The organelle that contains enzymes that break down waste and old cell parts.
What are the lysosomes?
This tail-like structure allows some prokaryotic cells to move.
What is the flagellum?
Is located inside the cytoplasm, provides structural support, shape, and mobility.
What is a cytoskeleton?
These structures are found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells (except ribosomes). Hint: 5
What are membrane-bound organelles, Endoplasmic reticulum,Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, mitochondria?
