Fun Facts
This tool is needed to see microorganisms and cells.
What is a Microscope
This structure is found in BOTH plant and animal cells and controls the cell.
What is the nucleus.
This organelle is known as the “control center” of the cell.
➡️ What is the nucleus?
I store water and help plant cells keep their shape.
➡️ What is the vacuole?
An organism made of only ONE cell is called what?
What is Unicellular.
This structure is found ONLY in plant cells and helps protect the cell.
What is the cell wall.
This organelle produces energy for the cell.
➡️ What are mitochondria?
A cell is observed with a nucleus, mitochondria, and a cell membrane—but no cell wall or chloroplasts. What type of cell is it?
➡️ What is an animal cell?
An organism contains MANY cells all with different functions, what is it called?
What is multicellular.
Which cell has chloroplasts—plant or animal?
What is a plant cell.
This jelly-like substance holds organelles in place.
➡️ What is cytoplasm?
I am thick, rigid, and only found in plant cells.
➡️ What is the cell wall?
A student labels the cell wall as controlling what enters and leaves the cell. What correction should be made?
➡️ What is the cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell?
Animal cells do NOT have these TWO structures.
What are the cell wall and chloroplasts?
This organelle makes food using sunlight.
➡️ What is the chloroplast?
I am found in both plant and animal cells and help the cell stay alive by producing energy.
➡️ What are mitochondria?
Cells are the basic unit of __________ in all living things.
What is life.
Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and this structure that produces energy.
What is mitochondria.
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
➡️ What is the cell membrane?
Why are plant cells better suited than animal cells for making food using sunlight?
➡️ What is because plant cells contain chloroplasts that carry out photosynthesis?
