He looked under a microscope and found "little rooms", which he later named CELLS.

Explain what would happen to a cell if it was missing an organelle or if an organelle quit working properly.
It would eventually die.

These organelles remove wastes and toxins from the cell.
Lysosomes

Vacuole

This scientist discovered that microbes can cause certain foods to spoil, and later discovered that heat can kill these microbes.
Louis Pasteur

This scientist is famous for saying, "All cells arise from cells".
Rudolf Carl Virchow

Explain the difference between the cell wall and cell membrane.
The cell membrane provides protection for the cell, allowing good things to get in and keeping bad things out. The cell wall provides support and structure for the cell.

These organelles store water and other materials for later use.

Explain what would happen if a cell could not divide (could not undergo mitosis).
It would explode.

He is famous for discovering that all animals are made of cells.
Theodor Schwann

Are vacuoles bigger in plant cells or animal cells? Explain why these cells need bigger vacuoles.
Vacuoles are bigger in plant cells. This is because plant cells are not mobile and cannot move around to find a readily available water supply.

These organelles make protein and other nutrients for the cell.

Solar Panels
Cholorplasts

When a cell becomes too large, it must divide into two cells because its volume becomes greater than its ___________.
Surface Area.

This scientist is famous for discovering "little beasties" that we now know as microbes.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek

Name two organelles that a plant cell has but an animal cell doesn't. Explain why they are important.
The cell wall (the plant cells need support and rigidity) and chloroplasts (the plant cells use them to convert sunlight into energy for the cell).
400
These organelles take energy from the sun and convert it into nutrients for the cell.

What organelle does a eukaryote have that a prokaryote doesn't have?
The nucleus.

These organelles turn food into energy for the cell.
