Organelle Functions
This organelle is known as the “powerhouse” of the cell because it converts energy into ATP.
What is the mitochondria?
True or False: Plant and animal cells are identical in structure.
What is false?
This type of cell does not contain a nucleus.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
He observed a thin slice of cork and named the small, box-like structures “cells.”
Who is Robert Hooke?
According to cell theory, all living things are made of one or more of these.
What are cells?
This organelle produces proteins.
What are ribosomes?
Plant cells contain both a cell membrane and this structure, which provides protection and support.
This type of cell is more complex and specialized.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
He was the first to observe and describe microorganisms using a microscope.
Who is Anton Van Leewenhoek?
This is the thick, gel-like fluid that holds the cell-bound organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
This organelle packages proteins so they can be transported out of the cell.
What is the golgi apparatus?
This organelle is responsible for photosynthesis and is found in plant cells.
What is the chloroplast?
Which type of cell contains fewer organelles?
What is a prokaryotic cell?
Robert Brown is best known for discovering this cell structure.
What is the nucleus?
These structures are clusters of microtubules that play a role in cell division.
What are centrioles?
This organelle controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
If you observed a cell with a cell wall and chloroplasts, what type of cell would it most likely be?
What is a plant cell?
A cheek cell is an example of this type of cell.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
Anton van Leeuwenhoek called the tiny living organisms he observed these.
What are "animalcules"?
Name one of the three parts of cell theory.
This organelle contains chemicals that break down waste materials in the cell.
What are lysosomes?
The structure or shape of an organelle is important because it does this.
What is determines its function?
All plant and animal cells belong to this category of cells.
What are eukaryotic cells?
Put these scientists in the correct order from earliest to latest: Robert Hooke, Robert Brown, Anton van Leeuwenhoek.
Who are Robert Hooke, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, Robert Brown?
A cell has a nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, and an endoplasmic reticulum. Based on its structures, is it prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Explain how you know.
What is eukaryotic, because it contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles?
