---|---|---|---|
What is the Microscope
Cells were discovered using this fancy new piece of technology back in the 1600’s
|
What is the Cell
All living things are made of this lego block
|
What is the Nucleus
This organelle is considered the brain of the cell and provides instructions for all functions
|
What is the Cell Wall
This organelle helps protect and provides structure for plant cells
|
What is a Cork
Robert Hooke came up with the term cells by looking at this item under a microscope
|
What is the Ability to Grow
This characteristic states that living things start as infants and mature through time
|
What is the Mitochondria
This organelle is considered the powerhouse of the cell and creates energy for its other functions
|
What is a Vacuole
This organelle appears in both animal and plant cells but is much larger in plant cells
|
What are animalcules
When Anton van Leewenhook first discovered living cells, he thought they looked like little animals so called them this
|
What is the Ability to Evolve
This characteristic describes how living things can change over long periods of time in order to survive
|
What is the Cytoplasm
This organelle fills the empty space in a cell and is a jelly like fluid
|
What is the Chloroplast
This organelle could be considered the eco-friendly powerhouse of a plant cell
|
- All things are made of cells
- Cell is the basic unit of life - Cells come from other cells
List two of three of the statements included in the cell theory
|
What is the Ability to Reproduce
This characteristic allows living things to pass down genetic information, and can be done alone or with another organism
|
What is the Golgi Apparatus
This organelle takes in proteins, packages them up for delivery, and sends them to their required destination
|
What is the Plant Cell
What came first? The discovery of plant cells or the discovery of animal cells?
|
What is Crystallization (Appearing out of nowhere)
Rudolf Virchow discovered that cells are produced from pre-existing cells, but before that, people believed cells formed by
|
What is the Ability to Maintain Homeostasis
This characteristic involves an organism keeping a normal body temperature
|
What is a Lysosome
This organelle digests waste and toxins from inside the cell and acts like a disinfectant

- Cell Walls
- Vacuoles - Chloroplast
