Cell Structures Functions Study Guide Key

This document provides information about cell structures and organelles. It discusses the two main types of cells - prokaryotes and eukaryotes - and provides examples of each. Similarities between the cell types include being living, having DNA, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane. Differences are that prokaryotes are smaller and lack organelles and a nucleus, while eukaryotes are larger and more complex with organelles and a nucleus. The document also compares plant and animal cells, noting that plant cells have chloroplasts, a cell wall, and larger vacuoles. It identifies the functions of various cell structures and organelles through matching and riddles.

Cell Structures Study Guide

1. The two types of cells are _prokaryote_____ and _eukaryote_____.

2. List 2 examples of each type of cell. Prokaryote = bacteria and archaebacterial

Eukaryote = protists, fungi, plants, animals

3. List 3 similarities between the 2 types of cells. Similarities = all living, all cells, all have

DNA, cytoplasm & cell membrane, all grow, develop reproduce, all need resources

4. List 3 differences between the 2 types of cells. Prokaryotes = only bacteria, smaller, less

complex, less organelles, no nucleus. Eukaryotes = all other cells, larger, more complex, more

organelles, have a nucleus

5. How are plants cells different from animal cells? List at least 3 ways. Plants cells have a

rectangular shape, have chloroplast for photosynthesis (make their own food), have a larger

vacuole, are green due to chlorophyll (pigment that absorbs sunlight), have a cell wall for

extra support

6. Match the following cell structures with the correct functions.

1. __L____ vacuole A. produces energy for cell functions


2. __E___ chloroplast B. a living thing
3. __J___ cell membrane C. chemical instructions/directions for cell structure and
function
4. __G___ nucleus D. a part of a cell that has a specific job to do
5. __A__ mitochondria E. the organelle in which plants produce food
6. __C___ DNA F. the smallest unit of life
7. __M___ cell wall G. control center of the cell
8. __K___ eukaryote H. a cell without a nucleus
9. __N___ lysosome I. gel-like liquid that surrounds and protects structures in the
nucleus
10. __D___ organelle J. flexible cover surrounding cell, has pores
11. __I___ cytoplasm K. a cell with a nucleus and many other organelles, very complex
12. __F___ cell L. storage area in plant/animal cells for food/water, larger in
plant cells
13. __H___ prokaryote M. rigid extra boundary around plant cells, provides support and
protection
14. __B__ organism N. digest wastes and worn out cell parts
Riddle Me This – Write the name of the organelle in the blank.

1. I’m a real “powerhouse”, 6. Found only in plant cells.


That’s plain to see. I’m green as can be.
I break down food I make food for the plant
To release energy. Using the sun’s energy.
Who am I? _mitochondria_______ Who am I? __chloroplast______

2. I’m strong and stout, 7. I’m full of holes,


Getting through me is tough. Flexible, and thin.
I’m found only in plants, I control what gets out
But I guess that’s enough. As well as what comes in.
Who am I? __cell wall_________ Who am I? __cell membrane____

3. I’ve been called a “storage tank” 8. Proteins are made here


By those with little taste. Even though I’m quite small.
I’m a sack filled with water, You can find me in the cytoplasm
Food, enzymes, or waste Or, attached to E.R.’s wall.
Who am I? __vacuole__________ Who am I? __ribosome________

4. I’m the “brain” of the cell 9. Since I contain many enzymes,


Or so they say. I can digest an injured cell;
I regulate activities And break down a large molecule
from day to day. Into a smaller one as well.
Who am I? __nucleus__________ Who am I? __lysosome_________

all the organelles what to do every day.
