MMS Cells
Cells, organelles, functions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Organelle | Little cell - part of the cell |
| Cell | "Little room" - full of organelles, makes up all living things |
| Cell membrane | Around the cell, separates the cell from the outside environment. (BOTH - plant and animal cells) |
| Nucleus | Brain of the cell, tells the cell what to do (BOTH - plant and animal cells) |
| Nuclear membrane | Surrounds and protects the nucleus (like the skull, protects the brain of the cell) (BOTH - plant and animal cells) |
| Mitochondria | Powerhouse of the cell - makes energy from nutrients and oxygen (BOTH - plant and animal cells) |
| Cytoplasm | Jelly like liquid that breaks down nutrients and fills the cell to give it shape. (BOTH - plant and animal cells) |
| Vacuole | Storage sac, holds water and waste (BOTH - plant and animal cells - much larger in plant cells) |
| Chloroplasts | Where photosynthesis happens - plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make sugar (PLANTS only) |
| Cell wall | Gives a plant cell structure (PLANTS only) |
| unicellular | made of one cell |
| multicellular | made of more than one cell |
| prokaryote | Simple cell without a nucleus or any membrane-covered organelles. Example: Bacteria |
| eukaryote | Cells with a nucleus and membrane covered organelles Example: Human cells, plant cells |
| Characteristics of Life | 1. The ability to reproduce 2. The ability to grow and develop 3. The ability to respond/react to stimuli in the environment 4. The ability to get and use energy 5. Being made of cells 6. The ability to adapt and evolve |
| Cell Theory | 1. All living things are made of one or more cells. 2. Cells are the smallest unit of life. 3. All Cells come from other cells. 4. Energy flow takes place within cells. 5. DNA is passed on during cell division. 6. Cells have similar chemical makeup |
| Photosynthesis | Occurs only in plant cells Plants use sun, carbon dioxide, and water to make sugar (Food) and oxygen Happens in the chloroplasts |
| Cellular Respiration | Occurs in plant and animal cells. Happens in the mitochondria Cells use oxygen and nutrients to make energy (ATP) and carbon dioxide |
| Mitosis | Cell division - produces new cells |
