| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chloroplast | Location of photosynthesis |
| Endoplasmic Reticulums | Produces proteins and lipids |
| Nucleus | Stores the cell's genetic information |
| Vacuole | Storage and homeostasis |
| Cell membrane | Controls movements of substances in and out of cell and maintains homeostasis |
| Mitochondria | Produces chemical energy for the cell |
| Golgi Apparatus | Modifies and sorts proteins and lipids produced in ER |
| Muscle Cell | Structure: Thin and thick fibers that slide along each other, and many mitochondria Function: Fibers slide to shorten muscled when it contracts |
| Red Blood Cells | Structure: Frisbee-shaped Function: Carries oxygen from place to place |
| Macrophages | Structure: animal cells in immune system that are large and flexible Function: Ingest and kill foreign invaders |
| Intestinal Cells | Structure: Animal cells that line intestines; larger surface area because o finger-like projections Function:Absorb nutrients from intestine and pass them into bloodstream |
| Neurons | Structure: Long and branched, from in chains Function: Transmit chemical information throughtout body |
| Sperm Cells | Structure: animal reproductive cells that have a long tail (flagellum) Function: Swim by rotating flagellum in order to find and fertilize egg |
| Pancreatic Cells | Structure: Animal cell with many Golgi Apparatus, which package insulin Function: Involved in creating and releasing insulin |
| Cell | Building blocks of life |
| Organelles found only in plants cells | single large vacuole, chloroplast, cell wall |
| Organelles found only in animal cells | ribosomes, many small vacuoles, lysosome |
| Plant/Animal organelles in common | vacuole, golgi apparatus, ER, nucleus, cell membrane, cytplasm, free ribosomes, cytoskeleton, nucleus, vesicle |
| Prokaryotic characteristics | nucleus, organelles, animal plant and protist cells |
| Eukaryotic characteristics | no nucleus, no organelles, simplest forms of life, bacteria- only remaining eukaryote |
| Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic in common | cell membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell wall, DNA, cytoplasm |
| Homeostasis | Maintaining a stable environment |
| Metabolism | The speed at which you can process food; all chemical reactions tha take place in the cytoplasm |
| Protist that causes malaria | Plasmodium |
| Cells infected by malaria | red blood cells, liver cells |
