Cell Biology Jeopardy
Cell Organelles A
100- The part of the cell that allows substances in and out and gives shape to the cell.
Cell Membrane
200- This is know as the control center of the cell where the genetic information is stored
Nucleus
300- This is the part of the cell where energy is produced to carry out the cell functions
Mitochondria
400- This green organelle is found only in plant cells and is used to manufacture glucose.
Chloroplasts
500- This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells but is much larger in plant
cells due to the amount of water plants need.
Vacuole
Cell Organelles B
100- This is the gel-like fluid that fills the cell and all the organelles float in
Cytoplasm
200- These are small internal structures found inside of a cell, each having its own
specific job.
Organelles
300- This is the place in the cell where ribosomes are made.
nucleolus
400- This organelle has the important job of packaging proteins made by the ribosome to
keep them protected once they leave the cell.
Golgi body
500- These small round organelles are found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and
are responsible for making proteins.
Ribosomes
Cell Membrane
100- How many layers are in the cell membrane?
Double layer
200- Which part of the cell membrane allows particles to pass through it?
Integral protein
300- Which part of the cell membrane gives it more flexibility and support?
Cholesterol
400- What is the role of carbohydrates in cell membranes?
Helps with cell identification and recognition
500- What is the difference between integral and peripheral proteins?
Integral proteins span the entire width of the cell membrane and the peripheral
proteins attach to the membrane.
Cell Transport
100- What is meant by the term semi-permeable?
Allows some substances in but denies others
200- Particles always flow from ____ concentration to ____ concentration in passive
transport.
High to low
300- Osmosis is the diffusion of what type of molecule through a semi-permeable
membrane?
Water
400- In a _______ cell there is more water inside the cell then there is outside the cell.
Hypotonic
500- In order for a molecule to travel against the concentration gradient and go from low
to high concentration in active transport what is needed?
Energy and transport proteins
Grab Bag
100- What is one difference between a plant and animal cell
Cell wall, central vacuole and chloroplasts
200- A phospholipid has a phosphate head and 2 fatty acid tails, which part of the
phospholipid is non polar?
Fatty acid tails
300- This is the scientist that first observed cells using a compound microscope
Robert Hooke
400- This is the scientist that first saw living cells in pond water and called them
“animalcules”
Anton Von Leeuwenhoek
500- This is the polysaccharide found in cell walls that gives them their rigidity.
Cellulose
