Preparing for Cell Processes

Photosynthesis is...

• A process that makes matter

• A process that makes energy

• A process that makes food

• An organelle that makes proteins

Which organelle is responsible for converting sunlight into food?

• Chlorophyll

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Cytoplasm

The function of the cell membrane is....

• to regulate what enters and leaves the cell.

• fight bacteria and viruses that enter the cell.

• provide rigid support and protection to the cell.

• make sure each cell can move

All cells have a:

• Nucleus

• Cell membrane

• Cell wall

• Buddy

This organelle absorbs energy from the sunlight and uses it to make food

• Nucleus 
• Vacuole
• Chloroplasts
• Golgi Apparatus

Cell Membrane

• Keeps the cell separate from other cells and allows molecules to pass through; located on the outside of the animal and plant cell.

• Is the organelle that makes plant cells green.

• Keeps the cell separate from other cells, is located near the nucleus in animal and plant cells.

Mitocondria

• Is known as the powerhouse of the cell or power outlet. This is where all the energy is created.

• Shaped like small spheres. Make protein. Can be found in the cytoplasm or attached to rough E.R. look like small polka dots.

• Storage containers that hold water, chemicals, or food for the cell. They are larger in plant cells and smaller in animal cells.

Animal cells DO NOT have ...

• mitochondria
• lysosomes
• vacuoles
• chloroplasts

The two kinds of cells are prokaryotes and eukaryotes. How are they different?

• Prokaryotes have a nucleus.
• Eukaryotes have a nucleus.
• Prokaryotes are plant cells.
• All bacteria are eukaryotes.
