Science Review 1
The organelle that is considered "The Brain" of the cell
Nucleus
This organelle stores water, waste and nutrients in the cell
Vacuole
This organelle directs all activities in the cell.
Nucleus
What are the three jobs of the cell membrane?
Give the cell its shape, protects the cell, and controls movement of materials in and out of the cell
This organelle is also known as "The Powerhouse"
Mitochondria
This organelle is responsible for the energy production of the cell
Mitochondria
This organelle is also known as "The Kitchen."
Chloroplasts
This organelle gives the plant cell its shape and provides structure
Cell Wall
DNA can be found in this.
The Nucleus
What are the three differences between plant and animal cells
Plants have cell wall, chloroplasts and one large vacuole.
The Jelly-like substance where the organelles live in the cell
Cytoplasm
This organelle is responsible for allowing certain particles in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
These are coiled threads of DNA that contain hereditary information stored in the nucleus
Chromosomes
Takes up to 40 - 80 percent of a plant cell.
Vacuole
What are the three principles of cell theory
The organelle that is responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it to food
Chloroplasts
Provides a rigid structure for plant cells
Call Wall
Results in genetically different off spring
Sexual Reproduction
Basic unit of structure and function in an organism
Cell
Results in genetically identical offspring
Sexual Reproduction
The definition of heredity is...
The passing of genetic information from one generation to the next.
Budding, fission, and fragmentation are all examples of
Asexual reproduction
Chromosomes are located here
Nucleus
A group of organs working together.
Organ System
Similar cells joined together.
