What is the function of a vacuole?

To store water,enzymes,metabolic wastes and other materials.

What type of cell has a nucleoide?

Prokaryotes or bacteria.

What is the function of a lysosome?

To break down food particles, invading objects, or worn out cell parts.

What is the function of a mitochondria?

Power house of the cell.

What is the material stored in the nucleus?

DNA/Chromosomes.

What is the purpose of the rough ER?

Makes protein.

What is the purpose of the smooth ER/what do they make?

Lipids.

What is the building block of life?

Cells.

Where do new cells come from?

Old cells(cell theory)

What recieves proteins from the rough ER and distributes them to other organelles or out of the cell?

Golgi Apparatus.

What is the structure within an animal cell responsible for structure?

Cytoskeleton.

What type of cell has a cell wall?

Plant cells.

What makes plants green?

Chlorophyll.

What is the tool used to discover cells?

Microscopes.

What is the main limitation to cell size?

The relationship of the cells outer surface area or to its volume.

Give an example of a large and small cell.

Large-giraffe's spinal cord cell


Small-human egg cell.

Why would plant and animal cells be different in size than a bacteria cell?0

Bacteria only has one cell whereas plants and animals have more than one.

How does the shape of a skin cell affect its function?

It moves to 0avoid skin layers.

What are two differences in prokaryote and eukaryote cells?

Eukaryotic cells are bigger and prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus.

How are organelles similar to our organs?

They help make up our organs.

How do eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells store DNA differently?

Eukaryotic cells store DNA in the nucleus.


Prokaryotic cells store DNA in the nucleoide/nucleolis.

What is the function of a nucleus?

Contains a cell's DNA.

What are the three parts of the Cell Theory?

1:All living things are composed of one or more cells.


2:Cells are organisms' basic units of structure ane function


3:Cells only come from existing cells.

Hooke discovered what?

Dead cells.

Leeuwenhoek discovered what?

Living cells.

What is the plasma membrane?

Barrier. Selectively permeable.

What is a cytoplasm?

Gel-like. Holds everything together. How everything gets around.

What is a cytosol?

Contains ribosomes but not membrane bound.

Plasma membrane controls what?

Molecules to enter and exit.

Mitochondria transfer energy through what form?

Organic molecules to ATP through cellular respiration.

What are ribosomes?

Made up of protein and RNA. Where protein synthesis occurs.

What is the function of ER?

To create paths for transportation of molecules from one part to another of the cell.

What is the function of rough ER?

Make large amounts of proteins to be exported or inserted in the cell membrane. Covered in ribosomes.

What is the function of smooth ER?

Break down toxic substances. Involved in the synthesis of lipids. Does not have ribosomes.

What are centrioles?

Only in animal cells. Two short cylinders of microtubules at right angles to each other and are situated in the cytoplasm near the nuclear envelope. Plant cells have basal bodies instead.

What three cells are found in plant cells.but not animal cells?

Cell walls, central vacuole, and plastid.

What is the cell wall made up of?

Cellulose, proteins, and carbohydrates.

What is the purpose of a cell wall?

To create a boundary around the plant cell outside of the cell membrane that provides structure and support.

What are plastids?

Like mitochondria. They are surrounded by a double membrane and contain their own DNA.

What happens in chloroplasts?

Chlorophyl absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

What are chromoplasts?

Synthesize and store.pigments like.carotene in carrots.

What are leucoplasts?

Store food such as starches, proteins, and lipids.

What holds the nucleus together?

Nuclear membrane.

Surface for chemical activity.

ER.

Units of heredity.

Genes.

Digestion center.

Lysosomes.

Where proteins are made.

Ribosomes.

Structures involved in mitosis in animal cells only.

Centrioles.

Microscobic cylinders that support and give the cell shape.

Microtubules.

Shapes and supports a plant cell.

Cell wall.

Stores and releases chemicals.

Golgi bodies.

Food for plant cells are made here.

Chloroplasts.

Spherical body within the nucleus.

Nucleolis.

Controls entry into and out of cell.

Cell membrane.

Traps light and is used to produce food for plants.

Chlorophyl.

Chromosomes are found here.

Nucleus.

Jelly like substanxe within cell.

Cytoplasm.

Contains code which guides all cell activity.

Chromosomes.

Minute hole in the nuclear membrane.

Nuclear pore.

Contains water and dissolved minerals.

Vacuole.

Stores foos or contains pigment.

Plastid.
