Who discovered that cells only come from other cells | Rudolf Virchow discovered |
Who was the first to discover the nucleus if the cell | Robert Brown discovered |
What is the cell theory? | All living things are made up of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, new cells are produced from existing cells |
What are prokaryotic cells? | Cells without a nucleus are |
What are the two links of the prokaryotic cells? | Bacteria and archaea are |
What are cells with a nucleus called? | Eukaryotic cells have a |
What are the two kinds of Eukaryotic cells? | Plants and animals are |
Unique parts of plant cells | Cell wall, chloroplasts, and one large vacuole, |
Unique parts of animal cells | Round shape, centrioles, small vacuole |
Cell Membrane | Selects what will leave or enter the body |
Cytoplasm | A gel-like substance that all the other organelles are floating in |
The Nucleus | The control center of the cell |
Ribosomes | Site of protein synthesis |
The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | A complex network of transport channels. Contains ribosomes. (The Highway) |
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | A complex network of transport channels. Contains ribosomes. (The Highway) |
Golgi Apparatus/Bodies | A series of flattened sacs that modifies, packages, stores, and transports materials out of the cell. (The Post Office) |
Lysosomes | removes waste. (Garbage Men) |
Centrioles | ONLY FOUND IN ANIMAL CELLS. These organelles play a role in cellular reproduction. |
Mitochondrion | Produces energy for the cell (ATP). The Powerhouse of the cell. |

Is the nucleus always found in the middle of the cell? | NO |
What part of an animal cell, gives the cell its shape? | The Cell Membrane |
Why are stains used when observing cells under the microscope? | To make the specimen easier to see |
Why don't animals have chloroplasts? | Because we use our mitochondria to convert food into energy. |
All living things are made of | cells |
Cells are the basic unit of (there are points) | Structure and Function |
