Cells

Question 1

Vacuoles

Answer 1

Responsible for storing food, water, or waste

Question 2

Ribosomes

Answer 2

Responsible for making proteins

Question 3

Chloroplasts

Answer 3

Responsible for trapping the energy in sunlight to turn it into chemical energy that the cell can use

Question 4

Mitochondria

Answer 4

Responsible for making energy for the cell

Question 5

Lysosomes

Answer 5

Responsible for digesting worn out organelles, food particles, as well as viruses and bacteria that enter the cell

Question 6

Nucleolus

Answer 6

Makes ribosomes for the cell

Question 7

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Answer 7

Responsible for making proteins and lipids, and moving materials around inside the cell. This is a membrane system of folded sacs and interconnected channels

Question 8

Cytoskeleton

Answer 8

Responsible for providing shape, structure, and support for the cell

Question 9

Centrioles

Answer 9

Responsible for helping animal cells divide

Question 10

Cytoplasm

Answer 10

The semifluid material that makes up the cell

Question 11

Plasma Membrane

Answer 11

Controls what comes into and goes out of the cell. It is the outer boundary of the cell

Question 12

Cell Wall

Answer 12

If present, this structure is found outside the cell membrane to provide support, structure, and protection

Question 13

Prokaryotes only:

Answer 13

• Single celled
• A cell that does all its chemical processes int he cytoplasm
• Bacteria

Question 14

Eukaryotes only:

Answer 14

• A cell with a nucleus
• A cell with organelles that do specific tasks
• Organisms that are either unicellular or multicellular
• Plants, animals, fungi

Question 15

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Answer 15

• Organisms that have plasma membranes

- Organisms that have DNA

Question 16

3 things that all cells have

Answer 16

Cytoplasm, DNA, cell membrane

Question 17

Small structures inside eukaryote cells, each with a different function, but all working together

Answer 17

Organelles

Question 18

Which of the following is the function of the golgi apparatus?

Answer 18

Modifes, sorts, packages, and sends proteins out of the cell

Question 19

The scientist who studied plants and determined all plants are made of cells

Answer 19

Schleiden

Question 20

The scientist who studied animals and determined all animals are made of cells

Answer 20

Schwann

Question 21

The scientist who determined that all cells come from preexisting cells

Answer 21

Virchow

Question 22

The scientist who was the first to look at cells under a microscope. He called them Cellulae, because they looked like the tiny rooms where monks lived

Answer 22

Hooke

Question 23

The scientist who first looked at live cells such as bacteria found in milk and the scrapings of his teeth, and organisms found in pond water. He was the first to see living organisms

Answer 23

Leeuwenhoek

Question 24

Without the invention of this technology, we would not have any of the knowledge that we do about cells

Answer 24

Microscope

Question 25

Why might muscle and brain cells have more mitochondria that other cells?

Answer 25

They do more work than other cells, and so need more mitochondria to make more energy

Question 26

Why might cells that line the inside of the nose have more golgi bodies than other cells

Answer 26

They package and release more mucus than other cells, and so need more golgi bodies to do this

Question 27

In which type of cell would you expect to find a cell wall

Answer 27

A cell from an oak tree (plant cells)

Question 28

In which type of cell would you expect to find centrioles?

Answer 28

Animal cells

Question 29

Long, whip-like tails that help a cell move

Answer 29

Flagella

Question 30

Short, hair-like projections surrounding the cell that help a cell move, or help move materials past the cell

Answer 30

Cilia

Question 31

Where do eukaryotes cells keep their DNA?

Answer 31

In the nucleus

Question 32

Where do prokaryote cells keep their DNA

Answer 32

Cytoplasm
