What Am I? *the Cell Version*

Front 1

I am a type of cell that doesn't have any nucleus or internal membranes.

What am I?

Back 1

I am a Prokaryote

Front 2

I am a type of cell with internal membranes, such as lysosomes, vacuoles, and mitochondria

Back 2

I am a Eukaryote

Front 3

I have chromosomes (DNA) wrapped with special proteins into a CHROMATIN NETWORK.

I am surrounded by selectively permeable membrane that contains nuclear pores for the passage of large molecules like mRNA.

I store genetic information that determines heredity. I also direct the activities of a cell.

What am I?

Back 3

I am a Nucleus.

Front 4

I am the prominent region seen in the nucleus during interphase.

Production of ribosomes occur here.

What am I?

Back 4

I am a Nucleolus.

Front 5

I am found free in the cytoplasm or attached to the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER)

Site of protein synthesis

What am I?

Back 5

I am Ribosomes

Front 6

I am a network of membranous system of channels and flattened sacs that traverse the cytoplasm.

I have a Rough ER and a Smooth ER.

What am I?

Back 6

I am the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Front 7

I have ribosomes that stud the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane. This makes me appear "rough".

Site of protein synthesis

What am I?

Back 7

I am Rough ER

Front 8

I synthesize steroid hormones and other lipids.

I connect rough ER to Golgi apparatus.

I carry out various detoxification processes.

My name came from the fact that I lack ribosomes on my cytoplasmic surface.

What am I?

Back 8

I am Smooth ER

Front 9

I package and export substances produced in the ER.

I lie near the nucleus.

I consist of flattened membranous sacs.

Back 9

I am Golgi Apparatus

Hint 9

Like a warehouse.

Front 10

I am found in large numbers in phagocytic white blood cells.

I am made of vesicles of digestive enzymes.

I carry out programmed destruction of cells.

What am I?

Back 10

I am Lysosome

Front 11

I contain an enzyme that converts harmful H2O2 to water.

In liver cells, I detoxify alcohol.

What am I?

Back 11

I am Peroxisome.

Front 12

I am enclosed in a double membrane.

Site of aerobic cellular respiration, the process that generates ATP.

Back 12

I am Mitochondria.

Hint 12

Like a powerhouse

Front 13

I am a complex network of protein filaments in the cytoplasm, including MICROTUBULES & MICROFILAMENTS.

I give the cell its shape and ability to move.

What am I?

Back 13

I am Cytoskeleton.

Front 14

I am hollow tubes.

I make up cilia, flagella, and spindle fibers.

What am I?

Back 14

I am Microtubules.

Front 15

I help form cleavage furrow during cell division.

I enable amoeba to send out pseudopods.

I make up the ACTIN contracting fibers in skeletal muscle.

What am I?

Back 15

I am Microfilaments.

Front 16

I am found only in plant cells; not animal cells.

In plants and algae, I am made of cellulose.

In fungi, I am made of chitin.

Back 16

I am Cell Wall
