Microbiome Quiz Review

Cell Structure

100

Controls what enters and leaves the cell. "the security guard"

Cell membrane

200

The space that supports cell parts. Many cell reactions happen here. "The workspace"

Cytoplasm

300

Breaks down food molecules to make ATP, the cell’s usable energy supply. "The power plant"

Mitochondria

400

Sorts and packages proteins and fats, then sends them where they are needed. "The post office"

Golgi Apparatus

500

Makes fats and some hormones, stores calcium, and helps break down harmful substances. "the lab"

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (smoooth ER)

Cell Structure 2

100

Stores DNA, which contains instructions that direct the cell’s activities. "The brain"

Nucleus

200

Stores water, nutrients, and waste. "the storage tank"

Vacuole

300

Uses enzymes to break down worn-out cell parts, waste, and harmful bacteria. "the recYcLer"

Lysosome

400

Organizes the fibers that separate chromosomes during cell division. "the coach"

Centrosome

500

Ribosomes on its surface make proteins. It folds and prepares them for transport. "the assembly line"

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)

Cell Structure 3

100

All living things are made of these

Cells

200

Builds proteins that cells need to grow, repair damage, and do their jobs. "The assembly line workers" "the builders"

Ribosomes 

300

cell structures with specific jobs.

Organelles 

400

These cells have no nucleus, they are Single-celled organisms like bacteria 

PROKARYOTIC cells

500

These cells have DNA in a nucleus they have one or many cells. Examples are Plants, animals, and fungi.

Eukaryotic Cells 

Scale

100

Between a water molecule and a cell, this is larger

Cell

200

Between a micrometer and a nanometer, this is the larger unit.

Micrometer

300

There are this many molecules in a cell 

billions

400

These five objects arranged from smallest to largest: human, bacterium, water molecule, grain of salt, skin cell.

water molecule -  bacterium - skin cell - grain of salt-  human?

500

This many micrometers equal 1 millimeter

1000

Microbiome

100

 A community of microorganisms in an environment. Examples: Skin, Gut, Eyes

Microbiome

200

Something that is  too small to see with the naked eye.

Microscopic

300

a visible group of many microorganisms growing together. Hint: Bacteria in the petri dish

Colony

400

Nearly all cells are microscopic. Name one cell you CAN see with the naked eye

Human Egg Cell

500

In 1665, he saw tiny compartments in cork and called them “cells.”

Robert Hooke
