| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are cells | Cells are tiny basic units that all living things are made from. |
| What are 2 different types of cells | The animal cell and plant cell |
| What are the features of an animal cell | The cell membrane, the nucleus and the cytoplasm, mitochondria and ribosomes |
| What doe the nucleus look like | A large dot within the cell |
| What does the cell membrane look like | It is the line surrounding the nucleus |
| What does the cytoplasm look like | The cytoplasm is the empty space within the cell |
| What are the features of a plant cell | Nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, vacuole, chloroplasts, mitochondria and ribosomes |
| What does the vacuole look like | An empty space within the cell with a barrier drawn with a line around it |
| What are the chloroplasts | Dots inside the cell that are smaller than the nucleus and sometimes draw green |
| What is the cell wall | It is a line around the cell membrane and the space between the cell membrane and the outer line |
| What does the nucleus do | It controls the cells activities and contains genetic material |
| What does the cell membrane do | It controls entry and exit to the cell |
| What is cytoplasm | It is a jelly like substance where many chemical reactions take place and contains enzymes |
| What does the cell wall do | It gives the plant cell strength and structure and support, made of cellulose |
| What does the vacuole do | It stores cell sap and supports the cell |
| What is cell sap | It is a fluid containing food and waste materials |
| What do chloroplasts do | They carry out photosynthesis to make glucose |
| What does cytoplasm do | It holds the cells shape and is mostly water |
| What does mitochondria do | Where aerobic respiration occurs to transfer energy for the cell to work |
| What do ribosomes do | Small organelles where proteins are made |
| What is a tissue | A group of similar cells that work together to carry out a function |
| What is an organ | A group of different tissues that work together to perform a function |
| What is an organ system | Organs working together to perform a certain job |
