Cell Basics
What is the basic unit of life?
What is the Cell?
The “brain” of the cell that controls activities.
What is the Nucleus?
Both plant and animal cells have this protective outer layer.
What is the cell membrane?
Tool used to view tiny cells.
What is a microscope?
Euglena is made of only one cell, so it is this type of organism.
What is Unicellular Organism?
What do we call the jelly-like fluid inside the cell?
What is the Cytoplasm?
Controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This large storage structure is found mostly in plant cells.
What is the vacuole?
Cells without a nucleus are called this.
What are prokaryotic cells?
Anacharis is a plant, so it is this type of organism.
What is multicellular?
What do we call structures inside the cell that perform specific jobs?
Organelles
Produces energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
These two parts are found only in plant cells.
What are the cell wall and chloroplasts?
These simple, single-celled organisms lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is bacteria?
Euglena moves using this structure.
What is a flagellum?
Organisms made of only one cell.
What is Unicellular Organisms?
Gives plant cells shape and support.
What is the cell wall?
Plant cells are usually shaped this way.
What is rectangular or box-shaped?
Bacteria move using this whip-like structure.
What is a flagellum?
Both Euglena and Anacharis make food through this process.
What is photosynthesis?
Organisms made of many cells.
What are multicellular organisms?
Captures sunlight to make food.
What is the chloroplast?
Both plant and animal cells use this organelle for energy.
What are mitochondria?
The part of a bacterial cell where its DNA is found floating freely.
What is Cytoplasm?
Name one way Euglena and Anacharis are alike and one way they are different.
What is: Both perform photosynthesis, but Euglena is unicellular and Anacharis is multicellular?
