1
Q
All cells have three main parts, they are the ?
A
- Cell Membrane
- Cytoplasm
- Genetic Material
2
Q
Cells found in animals and plants that contain a nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles
A
Eukaryotic Cells/Eukaryotes
3
Q
Cells found in unicellular organisms (like bacteria) without a nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles
A
Prokaryotic Cells/Prokaryotes
4
Q
- thin outer covering of the cell
- provides protection, allows materials in and out of the cell
- present in plants and animals
A
Cell Membrane
5
Q
- gel-like fluid
- supports organelles inside the cell
- present in plants and animals
A
Cytoplasm
6
Q
- ball-shaped
- control center of the cell
- present in plants and animals
A
Nucleus
7
Q
- found inside the nucleus
- it produces ribosomes
- present in plants and animals
A
Nucleolus
8
Q
- tiny strands inside the nucleolus
- it contains genetic material (DNA)
- present in plants and animals
A
Chromatin
9
Q
- small particles
- it assembles amino acid and makes proteins
- present in plants and animals
A
Ribosome
10
Q
- tubular systems/network tunnels
- serves as a passageway that carries proteins and other materials to other parts of the cell
- present in plants and animals
A
Endoplasmic Reticulum
11
Q
- no ribosomes attached
- produces lipids/fats
- present in plants and animals
A
sER (smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum)
12
Q
- with ribosomes attached
- present in plants and animals
A
rER (rough Endoplasmic Reticulum)
13
Q
- flattened-stacks of tubes
- recieves, packages, transports and distributes materials like proteins
- present in plants and animals
A
Golgi Bodies
14
Q
- fluid-filled pouch
- transports materials to the Golgi body and other organelles
- present in plants and animals
A
Vesicles
15
Q
- bean-shaped
- powerhouse of the cell, it provides the energy needed by the cell
- present in plants and animals
A
Mitochondria
16
Q
- rigid, tough covering/outer layer
- made up of cellulose (complex carbohydrate), provides support
- present only in plants
A
Cell wall
17
Q
- large, open storage area
- stores water, food, wastes, and other materials
- present only in plants
A
Vacuole
18
Q
- green bean-shaped structure
- captures sunlight and used it for photosynthesis to produce food in plants
A
Chloroplast
19
Q
- garbage collectors
- has digestive enzymes that break down food and worn out cell parts
- present only in animals
A
Lysosome
20
Q
- oxidative structure
- contains enzymes which act in oxidative reactions in the production and decomposition of hydrogen peroxide
- present only in plants
A
Peroxisome
21
Q
- small hair-like structures
- used for movement of the cell
- present in plants and animals
A
Cilia
22
Q
- long whip-like structures
- used for movement of the cell
- present in plants and animals
A
Flagella
23
Q
- pair of circular cylinders near the nucleus
- important in cell division
- present only in animals
A
Centrioles
24
Q
- round, oval or irregular bodies
- provides pigment to plants
- present only in plants
A
Plastids
25
- green pigment
- provides pigment to plants
- present only in plants
Chlorophyll
26
```
- 2 pigments:
Carotenes (cream, white, yellow)
Xanthophylls (bright yellow, brown)
- provides pigment to plants
- present only in plants
```
Chromoplastid
