Question 5

Rudolf Virchow

Answer 5

-cells come from preexsisting cells
-“borrowed” the idea from Jewish scientist, Robert Remack

Question 6

Cell Theory Number 1

Answer 6

Cells are the smallest unit of structure and function of living things

Question 7

Cell Theory Number 2

Answer 7

Cells come from preexisting cells

Question 8

Cell Theory Number 3

Answer 8

All organisms are made of one or more cells

Question 9

Eukaryotic cell

Answer 9

Plant and animals cells b/c they have a nucleus

Question 10

Cytoplasm

Answer 10

• is an organelle
  -found in both plant and animal cells
  -clear,thick,jelly like material
  -supports and protects cell organelles

Question 11

Vacuole

Answer 11

found in all plant cells (large)
-store large amounts of food (sugars and water

found in animal cells (few and small)
-store food, water, metabolic and toxic waste
-fluid filled sacs

Question 12

Mitochondria

Answer 12

-found in both plants and animal cells
-bean-shaped with inner membranes
-breaks down sugar molecules into energy
-“power house” of the cell

Question 13

Nucleus

Answer 13

-found in both plant and animal cells
-large, oval shape in the center of animal cells and at the edge of plant cells
-controls cell activites (the brain)
-controls hereditary materials

Question 14

Cell Wall

Answer 14

-found in plant cells only
-rigid, strong, stiff outer layer
-supports the plant (allows it to grow tall)
-protects the cell
-allows water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to pass into and out of the cell.

Question 15

Chloroplast

Answer 15

-found in plant cells only
-green,oval
-contain chlorophyll (green pigament)
-uses energy from the sun to make food for the plant (photosynthesis)

Question 16

Identify 4 differences between the animal and plant cells

Answer 16

-vacuole is bigger in plant cells
-cell wall only in plant cells
-chloroplast only in plant cells
-plant cell square and animal cell circle

Question 17

Organelles

Answer 17

-tiny cellular structure that performs specific functions within a cell
-similar to the way the body’s organs perform different functions

Question 18

Cell Membrane

Answer 18

-found in both plant and animal cells
-Plant- inside the cell wall
-Animal - outer layer
-Supports and protects the cell
-controls movement of materials in and out of the cell
-maintains homeostasis (balance)
