QuestionAnswer
What does the cell membrane do? It protects and gives the cell its shape. It also allows materal to leave/enter the cell. It helps keep the cell material together.
What does the nucleus do? It controls everything that happens on the cell. Its called the boss.
What does the cytoplasm do? It helps give the cell its shape and most life functions take place in here.
What does the nuclear membrane do? It controls the passage of materials into/out of the nucleus. It gives the nucleus its shape.
What do vacuoles do? They store wastes, food, and water. They also pump extra water out of the cell.
What do Ribosomes do? They make and stre protein.
What do endoplasmic reticulum do? They move materials throughout the cell.
What is another name for endoplasmic reticulum? Transport Tubes.
What do mitochandria do? They store and release energy the cell needs to carry out life funcions.
What does the cell wall do? It gives the cell its stiffness and shape.
What is the non-living part in the cell wall? Cellulose.
What do the chloroplasts do? It contains chlorophyll which is needed for the plant to make food, which is called photosynthesis.
What is the cell theory? 1)All living lings are made up of cells. 2) Cells are the basic unit of structure in living things. 3) Cells come only from other living cells.
What are the parts of the animnal cell? Mitochandria, ribosomes, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, cell membrane, nucleus, nuclear membrane, and the cytoplasm.
What are the parts of a plant cell? Endoplasmic reticulum, mitochandria, cell wall, chloroplast, chlorophyll, ribosomes, vacuoles, nucleus, nuclear membrane, cell membrane, and cytoplasm.
What word helps us remeber the 5 stages of mitosis? IPMAT
What does IPMAT stand for? Interphase/Identical, Prophase/Poof, Metaphase/Middle, Anaphase/Apart, and Telophase/Two.
What is mitosis? The division/splitting of the nucleus.
What is osmosis? The movement of water through a membrane.
What is diffusion? The movement of material from an area where the moleules are crowded to an area that is less crowded.
What is photosynthesis? The food-making process in leaves that uses sunlight.
What is cell differentiation? The specialization of cells(when a worm grows back the other half of its body or lizard ect.).
What is cell respiration? The process of using oxygen to release stored energy by braking down sugar molecules.
Who was the 1st perosn to observe cells? Robert Hooke.
Cells break down glucose to produce what? Energy.
Who was the person who 1st observed living cells? Anton van Leevwenhoek.
What is the control center of the cell? The nucleus.
What is most of the cell made up by? The cytoplasm.
What part of the cell is called the POWERHOUSE? The mitochanria.
What do the organelles consist of? Mitochandria, transport tubes, and vacuoles.
What is diffuion controlled by? The cell membrane.
What is mitosis contolled by? The nucleus.
Where does cell respiration take place? In the mitochandria.
What is osmosis controlled by? The cell membrane.
How many and how many sets of chromosomes are in each of our bodies? 2 sets of 23 making it 46.
The part of the cell that is made up of living material is called what? Protoplasm.
Why are vacuoles like storage bins? Vacuoles store extra water and storage bins store extra items.
What is the cell membrane made of? Protoplasm.
What is an organ? A group of tissues that function together to do a specific job.
What is a tissue? A group of specialized cells that work together to do a specific job.
What is the formula for photosynthesis? Carbon dioxide+water (arrow with the word sunlight) sugar+oxygen.
What is the formula for cell respiration? Sugar+oxygen , carbon dioxide+ water+energy.
