Cells and Living Organisms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| These cells do not contain a nucleus. | Prokaryote |
| The amoeba has a nucleus; it is an example of an __________________. | eukaryote |
| These tiny hair-like structures move back and forth on the paramecium to move the organism throughout their environment. | cilia |
| This whip-like appendage moves an organism throughout the water environment. | flagellum |
| This cell has no nucleus or membrane-bounded organelles. | prokaryote |
| This organelle controls the the activities of the cell and genetic material in the cell. | nucleus |
| This is the organelle allows plant cells and some protists to make their own food through photosynthesis. | chloroplasts |
| This structure protects the cell from the outside environment. | cell membrane |
| This structure gives plant cells its shape. It is hard, rigid outermost structure of the cell. Protects the cell from harmful organisms and bacteria. | cell wall |
| This structure is found in a protist and plant cell. It stores food and other products of the cell. | vacuole |
| The paramecium is an example of | eukaryote |
| The paramecium uses these short hair-liake appendages that move back and forth to move in its environment. | cilia |
| The euglena and bacterial cells have a long whip-like structure to move and keep harmful material away from the cell. | flagellum |
| These structures are not found in the animal cell but are found in the plant cell. | chloroplast and cell wall |
| Why do plant cells have large vacuoles? | The store food, water, and waste. They need large vacuoles to store food made during photosynthesis. |
| Animal cells have two items in common. | They have a nucleus and membraned-surrounded organelles. |
| These cells have cell walls and no nucleus. Their organelles are not surrounded by a membrane | Prokaryote |
| The Euglenoid and Plant cells have this in common have this in common. | They make their own food using Photosynthesis. |
| The Euglenoid uses this structure to move. | flagellum |
| Breaks down food and worn cell parts | lysosome |
| The cell membrane encloses objects that are too large to pass through the cell membrane. | vesicle |
| transports packaged Proteins to different parts of the cell. | endoplasmic reticulum |
| Proteins are created here. | ribosomes |
| Cells are made pre-existing cells; cells are the basic unit of life; and cells are the smallest unit of life. | cell theory |
| Glucose is converted into a form a cell can use. Food is converted into energy. | mitochondrion |
| the organelle that packages proteins to be prepared parts of the cell and out of the cell | Golgi apparatus |
| Makes ribosomes for the cell | ribosome |
| vesicles of the animal cell that help break down and recycle different parts of the cell | lysosomes |
| directs all the activity of the cell; holds the genetic material of the cell | nucleus |
| creates proteins | ribosome |
