Fill in the Blank
A(n) ____ is the most basic unit of all living things.
Cell
Cell Membrane
An organelle that provides a protective layer around a cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum
An organelle that moves proteins and other substances through a cell
Ribosomes
An organelle that produces proteins for a cell
Only plant cells have a(n) _________.
Cell wall
The job that an organ does is the ________ of that organ.
Function
Cell Wall
Only in plant cells, a strong, supporting layer around the cell membrane in plants, algae, and some bacteria
Golgi Apparatus
An organelle that packages and distributes proteins received from the endoplasmic reticulum.
Vacuole
An organelle used as temporary storage for water, waste products, food, and other cellular material
What are two functions of the cell membrane?
1. It protects the cell.
2. It controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Ribosomes and mitochondrion are types of __________.
Organelles
Centrioles
Only in animal cells, A pair of cylindrical structures that are located near the nucleus and help organize cell division
Lysosome
An organelle that contains digestive enzymes that break down waste material and debris in a cell
What are the four main tissues of animals?
Nerve tissue
muscle tissue
connective tissue
protective tissue
How are the Endoplasmic Reticulum and the Golgi Apparatus similar?
They both move proteins.
A(n) _________ is an organism whose cells have a nucleus.
Eukaryote
Chloroplast
Only in plant cells, a specialized organelle in green plant cells and some other photosynthetic organisms that capture the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
Mitochondrion
An organelle that breaks down sugar molecules to supply energy to a cell, can divide within the cell, energy released is stored in ATP
What are the three main tissues of plants?
Transport tissue (moves water)
Protective tissue (covers plant)
Ground tissue (photosynthesis)
What is the powerhouse of the cell?
Mitochondrion
A group of cells working together to perform a specific function is a(n) _____.
Organ
Cytoplasm
A jellylike substance that supports and protects organelles in a cell
Nucleus
An organelle that directs cell activity, acting as the control center, holds the cell’s DNA
What are the the three kinds of archaea?
Heat loving
Salt loving
Methane making
How are the Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Apparatus different?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum moves proteins and other substances through the cell whereas the Golgi Apparatus packages and distributes proteins received from the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
