The fluid-filled region between the nucleus and the cell membrane.
What is cytoplasm?
100
This organelle provides energy.
What is the mitochondria.
100
All things are made up of cells?
TRUE
FALSE
TRUE
100
The process in which a plant cell makes its own food.
What is photosynthesis?
100
Which student correctly labeled their plant cell?
Neither - why?
200
This organelle gives the cell its structure and controls what materials pass into and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
200
The basic building blocks of life.
What are cells?
200
All cells have cell membranes?
TRUE
FALSE
TRUE
200
This is light energy from the sun to make food for the plant cell.
What are chloroplasts?
200
Identify which cell has an arrow pointing to the cytoplasm and justify your answer.
The animal cell because cytoplasm is the fluid that fills the cell and keeps cell structures in place."
300
This organelle controls all activity of the cell and contains DNA, the cell's genetic material.
What is the nucleus?
300
The instrument used to see cells.
What is a microscope?
300
All cells have a nucleus?
TRUE
FALSE
TRUE
300
A green chemical that gives chloroplasts their color.
What is chlorophyll?
300
What is the unlabeled part of the cell and how do you know?
It is the cell wall because the cell wall is the outermost layer that gives a plant cell its shape.
400
This contains all of the organelles and holds them in place within the cell.
What is cytoplasm?
400
This organelle is known as the “powerhouse” of the cell?
What is mitochondria?
400
Which statement is TRUE?
A. Plant cells have a cell wall.
B. Animal cells have a cell wall.
C. Plant cells have a cell membrane.
D. Animal cells have a cell membrane.
A. Plant cells have a cell wall.
400
The organelle which is part of the plant cell, but is not part of the animal cell. It gives the plant cell its structure.
What is cell wall?
400
Which letter correctly shows the location of the nucleus?
B
500
This organelle stores the biochemicals and helps in cell growth.
What is the vacuole?
500
This organelle is the most important structure for many cells.
What is the nucleus?
500
Which BEST explains the primary difference between plant and animal cells.
A. Plant cells have chloroplasts to create their own food and animal cells do not.
B. Plant cells do not have a cell membrane and animal cells do to allow the animal to move.
C. Plant cells are green and animal cells have no color because they do not have chloroplasts.
D. Plant cells are rectangular and animal cells are round because they have a cell membrane.
A. Plant cells have chloroplasts to create their own food and animal cells do not.
500
Which BEST explains why plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells do not.
A. To protect the organelles within the cell.
B. To hold the plant upright in place of a skeleton.
C. To control which materials can enter and exit the cell.
D. To help the plant collect sunlight and produce its own food.
B. To hold the plant upright in place of a skeleton.
500
Explains why the two cells are shaped differently.
Cell A is more rounded, because it is an animal cell that does not have a cell wall. Cell B is more rectangular because it is a plant cell with a rigid cell wall
