Watch the following video prior to answering questions 1-4. 1. Which of the following is NOT part of the cell theory? All cells have the same organelles. All cells come from pre-existing cells. All living things are made of cells. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function. 2. Which of the following structures will NOT be found in a prokaryotic cell? ribosomes nucleus DNA cell membrane 3. Which of the following organelles is found only in plant cells and carries out the process of photosynthesis? vacuole lysosome chloroplast ribosome 4. Sort the following statements into the table below. Determine if the statement relates to a "Prokaryote", "Eukaryote", or "Both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes". Prokaryotes Bacteria are an example of me. I do not have a nucleus. Eukaryotes I have a nucleus. Plants, Animals, Fungi, and Protists are examples of me. I contain membrane-bound organelles. I make up your body cells. Both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes I have a cell membrane. I contain ribosomes. I contain cytoplasm. I contain genetic material, such as DNA. Watch the video below before answering questions 5-10. 5. Match the cell structure to its correct function. Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane) Controls what comes in and out of a cell; found in both plant and animal cells. Cell Wall Ridged outer layer of a plant cell. Cytoplasm Gel-like fluid where organelles are found. Vacuole Stores food, water, wastes, and other materials 6. Match the cell structure to its correct function. Nucleus Control center of the cell; contains the DNA (genetic material) Mitochondria Produces the energy (ATP) a cell needs to carry out its functions. Chloroplast Captures energy from the sun and uses it to produce glucose during photosynthesis in plant cells Lysosome Use chemicals (enzymes) to break down food and worn out cell parts. 7. Match the cell structure to its correct function. Golgi Body Apparatus Responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER) Synthesizes lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) Produces and transports proteins throughout the cell. Ribosome Site of protein synthesis. 8. Label the animal cell diagram below. Click on each tag to label. Use the following word bank to label the diagram:Cell Membrane Centrioles Golgi Body Lysosome Mitochondria Nucleus Ribosome Rough ER nucleus lysosome Golgi Body Rough ER Ribosome Cell Membrane Mitochondria Centrioles 9. Label the plant cell diagram below. Click on each tag to label. Use the following word bank to label the diagram:Cell Membrane Cell Wall Chloroplast Large Central Vacuole Nucleus Smooth ER Chloroplast Large Central Vacuole Cell Wall Smooth ER Nucleus Cell Membrane 10. Look at the images of the animal and plant cells. Identify the organelles that are only found in plants, only found in animals, and shared by both. Sort the organelles into their respective cell type. Plant Cells Large Central Vacuole Cell Wall Chloroplast Animal Cells Centrioles Lysosomes Both Plant and Animal Cells Cell Membrane Ribosomes Nucleus Rough ER Smooth ER Golgi Bodies Mitochondria
