---|---|---|---|---|
The Nucleus
I am the “brain” of the cell and I control all activity within the cell. Who am I ?
|
Vacuole
I'm like a storage bin. I Store food, water, metabolic & toxic wastes and Store large amounts of food or sugars in plants. What am I ?
|
All cells
Cell Membrane - What Cell is it in ?
|
Cell Wall
•Outer layer
•Rigid & strong •Made of cellulose What Fits this Description ? |
A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell.
What is an Organelle ?
|
Cytoplasm
This is a semi-fluid substance.
|
Chloroplast
•Uses energy from sun to make food (glucose) for the plant
•Process called photosynthesis •Release oxygen What am I ? |
Plant - Uncommon
Animal - Common
Lysosomes - What Cell is it in ?
|
Cell Membrane
•Plant - inside cell wall
•Animal - outer layer; cholesterol •Selectively permeable What Fits this Description ? |
A Organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development in cell division.
What is a Centriole ?
|
The Cytoskeleton
What makes up the internal framework and gives each cell its distinctive shape and high level of organization ?
|
Make ribosomes.
What's the Function of the Nucleolus ?
|
Plants and algae
Chloroplast - Where do you usually find it ?
|
Nucleus
•Large, oval
•May contain 1 or more nucleoli •Holds DNA What Fits this Description ? |
A type of cell with a nucleus and organelles. Examples of organisms with these cells are protists, plants, fungi, and animals.
What is a Eukaryotic cell ?
|
Mitochondria
I'm an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. What am I ?
|
Synthesizes proteins.
What is the function of Ribosomes ?
|
Animal cells
Centrioles - What Cell do you find this in ?
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
•Network of tubes or membranes
•Smooth w/o ribosomes •Rough with embedded ribosomes What Fits this Description ? |
A cell lacking a nucleus and most other organelles. Most commonly found as bacteria.
What is a Prokaryotic cell ?
|
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes.
What are lysosomes ?
|
1. Modify proteins made by the cells
2. Package & export proteins
Name 2 Things the Golgi Apparatus Does.
|
All cells except Prokaryotes
Mitochondrion - What Cell is it in ?
|
Lysosome
•Small and round with a single membrane
What Fits this Description ? |
The Idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells.
What is The Cell Theory ?
