Answer |
| what cell parts are found in plant cells only? |
cell wall and chloroplasts |
| How are vacuoles different in plant and animal cells? |
Plant cells usually have one large vacuole for storing water, Animal cells have multiple smaller ones. |
| Do plant an animal cells have a cell membrane? |
Yes. In plant cells the cell membrane is usually pushed up against the cell wall (so it isn't visible). |
| What is an organelle? |
A part of a cell. |
| Why are cells important? |
All living things are made of cells. They carry out the life processes. |
| Who first used the term "cell"? |

| The flexible boundary of the cell is the _____. It controls which substances enter and leave the cell |
cell membrane |
| The It provides support to the plant. |
cell wall |
| The jelly-like filler of the cells is called _____. |
cytoplasm |
| Small, round, green organelles that capture sunlight for photosynthesis (plants only) are _____. |
chloroplasts |
| Sac-like structures that can store water, food or waste are caleld _____. |
vacuoles |
| _____ are oval-shaped structures that break down nutrients for the cell to have energy. |
mitochondria |
| _____ are small structures that make proteins. |
ribosomes |
| The ____ is made of connected membrane cavities that act as a 'highway' for transport of proteins. |
ER (endoplasmic reticulum) |
| Folded pancake-like membranes that package proteins for export out of the cell. |
Golgi bodies |
| Small sacs filled with digestive juices that break down and dispose of worn out cell parts and waste |
lysosomes |
| What happens to a cell in salt water? |
Water will leave the cell. This is called plasmolysis. You saw this in lab with Elodea, in which the cell membrane pulled away from the cell wall. |
| What does unicellular mean? |
one-celled |
| What does multicellular mean? |
many-celled |
Poultry
