17
Q

which organelle is the power house that uses cellular respiration to make energy?

A

mitochondria

18
Q

what is a mitochondria

A

An organelle that is the power house that uses cellular respiration to make energy?

19
Q

what is the formula for cellular respiration

A

glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP)

20
Q

which organelle is fluid filled tubes that transports materials throughout the cell

A

endoplasmic reticulum

21
Q

what is the endoplasmic reticulum

A

an organelle that is fluid filled tubes that transports materials throughout the cell

22
Q

which organelle collects and processes materials to be removed from the cell, makes mucus, and looks like a stack of pancakes

A

golgi bodies

23
Q

what is the golgi bodies

A

organelle that collects and processes materials to be removed from the cell, makes mucus, and looks like a stack of pancakes

24
Q

which out of plant and animal cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts

A

plant cells

25
Q

which organelle is only in plants and found outside the cell membrane to provide further protection for the cell

A

cell wall

26
Q

what is a cell wall

A

organelle that is only in plants and found outside the cell membrane to provide further protection for the cell

27
Q

which organelle is only in plants and allows plants to take energy from the sun to make their own food (photosynthesis)

A

chloroplasts

28
Q

what are chloroplasts

A

organelle that is only in plants and allows plants to take energy from the sun to make their own food (photosynthesis)

29
Q

what is the formula for photosynthesis

A

carbon dioxide + water +energy (sunlight) -> glucose + oxygen

30
Q

how can you tell plant and animal cells apart

A

-plant cells are more square shaped and animal cells are more circular
-the vacuole in plant cells is much larger

31
Q

which organelle is responsible for the green colour of some plants

A

chloroplasts

32
Q

why is the vacuole in plants larger than that in animals

A

plants need to store water because they can’t go get a drink when they are thirsty like animals can
