Question
- what invention had to be created before cell theory?
- who came up with the word cell?
- which scientists helped end spontaneous generation?
for the descriptions below of prokaryote and eukaryote, highlight the things they have in common in yellow, and the differences in red.
a prokaryotic cell is a simple, usually unicellular organism. inside, it has dna located in a region called the nucleoid, ribosomes to make proteins, and a cell membrane that controls what enters and exits the cell. some prokaryotes also have a cell wall for protection and structures like flagella or pili for movement and attachment. prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or any membrane - bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, or golgi apparatus.
a eukaryotic cell is more complex and can be unicellular or multicellular. inside, it has a true nucleus where the dna is stored, ribosomes for protein synthesis, and various membrane - bound organelles including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. plant eukaryotic cells also have chloroplasts for photosynthesis. eukaryotic cells do not have a nucleoid region, and they lack non - membrane - bound organelles; all major structures inside are enclosed by membranes.
instructions: read each clue carefully. each clue describes a missing function in a cell. write the name of the organelle in the box that, if missing, would cause the problem.
- without me, proteins and lipids couldnt be packaged or shipped to the right place in the cell. answer:
- without me, the cell couldnt make energy from food. atp production would stop. answer:
- without me, the cell couldnt store dna or control cell activities. i am the \control center\ of the cell. answer:
- without me, the cell couldnt organize microtubules for cell division. spindle fibers wouldnt form. answer:
- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging and shipping proteins and lipids.
- Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, producing ATP from food.
- The nucleus stores DNA and controls cell activities.
- Centrioles organize microtubules for cell division and spindle fiber formation.
