Question | Answer |
Coiled up chains of DNA that carry instructions on how to make proteins | Chromosomes |
Structure found in plant cells that uses light energy, water and carbon dioxide to make glucose; photosynthesis happens here | Chloroplast |
Structurs inside cytoplasm that have their own specific job or function | Organelle |
Watery fluid inside the cell that organelles are suspended in | Cytoplasm |
Place where proteins are built; free floating or attached to ER | Ribosomes |
Control center for the cell; contains genetic information (DNA) | Nucleus |
A cell that has a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles | Eukaryotic |
Provides shape, protection and support for plan cells; made of cullulose | Cell Wall |
Breaks down sugar to make energy (ATP); power house of the cell | Mitochondria |
Responsible for digestion in the cell; destroys worn-out organelles, gets rid of wastes and protects cell from harmful particles | Lysosome |
Flexible cover around the cell that controls movement of materials into and out of the cell; separates cell from outside environment | Cell Membrane |
Makes and modifies proteins and lipids; part of cell's delivery system; helps break down materials that can harm the cell | Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Small sac that surrounds material to be movewd in or out of the cell | Vesicle |
Simple cells with no recognizable organelles (no nucleus) | Prokaryotic |
Modifies, sorts, and ships molecules that are made in the ER; post office of cell | Golgi Complex |
Surrounds the nucleus; substances pass in and out through pores | Nuclear Membrane |
Type of vesicle found in plant cells; can store water, food, and waste products; soome have digestive enzymes | Vacuole |
Found in animal cells; form spindle fibers to separate chromosomes during cel division (mitiosis) | Centriole |
What are the 3 parts of the cell theory? | 1. All organisms are made up of one or more cells
2. The cell is the basic unit for all living things
3. All cells come from existing cells |
What are 2 things that plant cells have that animal cells do not? | Cell walls and chloroplasts |
What are 2 things that animal cells have that plant cells do not? | Lysosomes and centriols |
What is one difference between animal and plant cells? | Plant cells have large central vacuoles and animal cells have small central vacuoles |
What is the basic unit of all living things? | Cells |

What does a eukaryotic cell have that a prokaryotic cell does not? | A nucleus |
Name two kinds of eukaryotes that have cell walls | Bacteria and archaea |
What is a cell? | A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of living things |
Who discovered the first cell? | Robert Hooke |
What discription did he compare the cell to? | Little rooms-cells |
Single celled organisms or | protists |
