The picture of the bacteria below has a tail-like structure. What is this structure called?

Cyanobacteria are organisms commonly found in streams and ponds as chains of cells. A portion of a chain of cyanobacteria cells is shown in the diagram below. The major parts of a cyanobacteria cell are labeled.

Is cyanobacteria a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell? How can you tell by looking at the diagram?

Look at the picture of the plant cell. Identify two structures that are not labeled in the plant cell AND describe the functions of the two organelles you identified.

What is represented by the small dots found in each of the bacteria cells?

free-floating DNA

ribosomes

cell membrane

flagellum

How is the DNA described in bacterial cells?

The picture of the bacteria below has a tail-like structure. What is this structure called?

What might be the purpose of this the flagellum (the tail-like structure)?

storing genetic information

making protein

movement

eating

State two structures that are present in plant cells and not animal cells.

plant cells have mitochondria and ribosomes while animal cells do not

plant cells have a nucleus and animals cells do not

plant cells have chloroplast and a cell wall while animal cells do not

plant cells have cytoplasm and a plasam membrane unlike animal cells

Muscle cells are important to motion in the body. They form muscle tissue which contracts to move substances within the body or to help the body move in the environment. Why might muscle cells have more mitochondria than other cells.

have more mitochondria because they need more energy

have more mitochondria because they have more genetic material to store

have more mitochondria because they need to store water 

have more mitochondria so they can make more proteins

A student makes the following statement: "

"Plant cells don't need mitochondria. They have organelles that help them make their own food and so they do not need mitochondria"

Is this a true statement?

No

Yes

A cell from an organism has a nucleus, mitochondria, a cell wall, and chloroplast. The organism is most likely classified as which of the following?

animal

bacterium

prokaryote

plant

Each of the illustrations shows either a prokaryotic cell or a eukaryotic cell. Each cell is numbered. Which two cells should be classified as prokaryotic cells?

1 and 2

1 and 3

Match the organelle with the analogy

Is like a solar panel because it converts sunlight into energy

Match the organelle with the analogy

Is like a battery because it creates power (ATP) for the cell

Match the organelle with the analogy

Is like Ms. Owens because it controls the classroom activities

Match the organelle with the analogy

Is like the classroom door because it controls what can enter and exit the cell

Match the organelle with the analogy

Is like a trash can because it recycles waste

Match the organelle with the analogy

Is like a locker because it stores things for students

What is the function of ribosomes?

jelly-like substance where organelles are held

make proteins

store genetic information

make ATP
