Cells And Organelles

Question 1

What are the three points of cell theory?

Answer 1

• Cells are the building blocks of life
• Each cell comes from a pre-existing cell through a process called “cell division”
• all organisms are came from a cell(s) or cell waste.

Question 2

What is a cell?

Answer 2

A cell is a small volume of cytoplasm encased in the cell membrane. Cells contain several different organelles all with different tasks.

Question 3

What is DNA?

Answer 3

DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic acid, are found in chromosomes. They define the characteristics of the organism and allow for cell reproduction.

Question 4

What is an organelle?

Answer 4

Small structure found in cells that carry out different tasks.

Question 5

What is the ReR?

Answer 5

Short for “Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum”, sends and creates protein to the Golgi Body

Question 6

SeR

Answer 6

The “Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum” creates and stores Lipid (fat)

Question 7

Golgi Body

Answer 7

The Golgi Body packages the proteins given and sends to different parts of the cell and organism.

Question 8

Cytoplasm

Answer 8

The liquid a cell is filled with. Organelles float around in this. Mostly made from water.

Question 9

Nucleus

Answer 9

Stores DNA and provides the cell with the primary functions.

Question 10

Ribosomes

Answer 10

Produces Protein

Question 11

Prokaryotic

Answer 11

A simple, small cell containing a plasmid, a nucleoid region, and ribosomes.

Question 12

Eukaryotic

Answer 12

A large cell and way more complicated. Contains many organelles and can perform much more functions for the body.

Question 13

Large Vacuole

Answer 13

Found in plant cells only, stores water and cell waste

Question 14

Mitochondrion

Answer 14

Creates power for the cell

Question 15

Chloroplast

Answer 15

Only found in plant cells, this is where photosynthesis happens. Also gives the plant a green colour.

Question 16

Nucleoid Region

Answer 16

In prokaryotic cells, is where the chromosomes are found.

Question 17

Plasmid

Answer 17

A circular form of DNA, found in Prokaryotic Cells

Question 18

Capsule

Answer 18

A wall around the prokaryotic cell, provides protection and ability to stick to surfaces.

Question 19

Pili

Answer 19

Allows for easier movement of the cell and sticking to surfaces

Question 20

Flagellum

Answer 20

Tails of prokaryotic cells that aid the movement

Question 21

Cell Theory

Answer 21

• Cells are the building blocks of life
• All cells come from a preexisting cell
• All organisms are made from cells or cell waste.
