5th period Science

Multiple Choice

What are the parts of the cell called?

• organelles

• organs

Animal Cells

Animal cells are eukaryotic cells that are made up of organelles. These organelles have specific jobs that are needed for the cell to function properly.

Plasma Membrane

The plasma membrane is the outer lining of the cell. It controls what goes in and out of the cell.

Multiple Choice

The outer lining of the animal cell that controls what goes in and out of the cell is called?

• nucleus

• cell wall

• plasma membrane

• golgi apparatus

Cytoplasm

Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills the cells and keeps all the other organelles in place. It contains important molecules needed for protein synthesis.

Nucleus

The nucleus directs the activity in the cell and contains the DNA, which dictate which proteins the cell produces.

Open Ended

What is the function/job of the nucleus?

Endoplasmic Reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum prepares the proteins for transport to the golgi apparatus and other parts of the cell.

Ribosomes

Ribosomes follow instructions from the nucleus and create proteins that the cell needs.

Multiple Choice

Which organelle(s) follows instructions from the nucleus and create proteins that the cell needs?

• endoplasmic reticulum

• cytoplasm

• lysosomes & peroxisomes

• ribosomes

Mitochondria

Mitochondria are like the power plants of the cell. They create an energy-rich molecule called ATP, which fuels most of the action in the cell.

Golgi Apparatus

The golgi apparatus is like the packaging plant. It groups items, packages them, and ships them to different places in and out of the cell.

Lysosomes & Peroxisomes

The lysosomes and peroxisomes are like the recycling stations. These organelles break down wastes and detoxify poisons to clean up the cell. They recycle any materials that the cell can use.

Multiple Select

Which two organelles work together to create the "recycling station" of the cell?

• nucleus

• lysosomes

• vacuoles

• ribosomes

• peroxisomes

Plant Cells

Plant cells are the basic unit of life in organisms of the kingdom Plantae. They are eukaryotic cells made up of organelles that all have a specific job.

Multiple Select

Which of the following organelles can be found only in plant cells?

• mitochondria

• vacuoles

• nucleus

• cell wall

• chloroplasts

Cell Wall

The cell wall is the outer layer that helps maintain the plant cell's shape.

Open Ended

What is the function/job of the cell wall?

Vacuole

The vacuole stores water and nutrients that the cell needs to survive. Vacuoles also store waste products so the cell does not become contaminated.

Multiple Choice

Which organelle stores water and nutrients that the cell needs to survive?

• nucleus

• vacuole

• ribosomes

• mitochondria

Chloroplast

Chloroplasts use a process called photosynthesis to convert the sun's rays into energy (sugar) that the cell can use.
