atom
Who used an early microscope and was the first person to use the word 'cell' to describe what he saw?
Robert Hooke
Isaac Newton
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Matthias Schleiden
Who used an early microscope and was the first person to observe microorganisms like bacteria?
Robert Hooke
Isaac Newton
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Matthias Schleiden
The cells in the image have chloroplasts and a cell wall, so they are
eukaryotes - animal cells
eukaryotes - plant cells
prokaryotes - bacteria cells
The cells in the image have a nucleus and organelles, but no cell wall - so they are
eukaryotes - animal cells
eukaryotes - plant cells
prokaryotes - bacteria cells
Which type of cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles?
prokaryotes
eukaryotes
all cells
Which type of cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles?
prokaryotes
eukaryotes
all cells
Which type of cells have their DNA contained in a nucleus?
prokaryotes
eukaryotes
all cells
All cells have (check all that apply)
nucleus
cytoplasm
DNA
ribosomes
cell membrane
An organized or specialized structure within a cell is called a(n)
organelle
cell
molecule
organ
Organelle that contains a eukaryotic cell's DNA and acts as the control center of the cell
mitochondria
nucleus
golgi apparatus
endoplasmic reticulum
Jelly-like substance made of water and salts that structures are suspended in inside the cell
cytoplasm
vesicle
vacuole
lysosome
Organelle that performs protein synthesis (makes proteins)
nucleus
endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
ribosome
Organelle that is a membrane system right outside the nucleus that acts as a conveyor belt for proteins being made
golgi apparatus
endoplasmic reticulum
vesicles
cytoskeleton
Type of endoplasmic reticulum that has ribosomes on it
rough ER
smooth ER
Type of endoplasmic reticulum that does not have ribosomes on it
rough ER
smooth ER
Organelle that modifies, sorts and packages proteins to ship them within the cell or out of the cell
vesicles
ribosomes
endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
Organelle that stores materials - mostly water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates (plants have a large central one)
vesicles
vacuole
lysosome
Small membrane structures that store/move materials between organelles within the cell and also move materials to/from cell membrane
vacuoles
vesicles
lysosomes
centrioles
The “cleanup crew” of the cell - uses enzymes to remove waste and break down old organelles
lysosomes
vesicles
cytoskeleton
vacuoles
Provided structure, is involved with transport, and also involved in cell movement
spindle fibers
endoplasmic reticulum
cytoskeleton
centrioles
Cell projections involved in movement - like "tiny hairs" that move back and forth
cilia
flagella
Cell projections involved in movement - long whip-like tail
cilia
flagella
A eukaryotic cell can have one or two types of organelles that are involved in making energy. What are the names of these two organelles?
nucleus
mitochondria
endoplasmic reticulum
chloroplasts
Organelle that makes energy for eukaryotic cells by breaking down “food” and making ATP energy
chloroplast
mitochondria
chlorochondria
mitochondraplast
The organelle found in certain eukaryotes that contains the green pigment chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis - making glucose the cell can use for energy
chlorophyll
mitochondria
glucose
chloroplast
Structure made of a lipid bilayer that regulates what goes in/out the cell - also protects and supports cell (all cells have this)
cell membrane
cell wall
cell cytoplasm
Structure that provides support, shape, and protection for cells - it's like "armor" (animal cells DO NOT have this)
cell membrane
cell wall
cell cytoplasm
