18. List the four main characteristics of life. 1. c. 2. d. 19. Although a cloud can grow in size, release materials from it and sometimes form more clouds, it is nonliving. Explain 3 reasons why clouds are nonliving. 1. 2. 3. Part VI. Aim #12 Cell Theory/Organization 20. List the three main points of the cell theory. a. b. c. 21. Compare and Contrast Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. In your answer be sure to: 1. Include two differences and two similarities. PROKARYOTES EUKARYOTES 22. Do all cells have the same structure? 23.

In the blank provided, write the capital letter of the definition in Column B that best matches the vocabulary word in Column A. Column A Column B A. A group of cells Cell Tissue Organ B. The basic unit of life C. Any living thing D. A group of organs Organ System Organism E. A group of tissues Part VI. Aim # 13 Cell Organelles 26. Define organelle: 27. Complete the chart below. Make sure you know the functions of each of these organelles. The functions that are BOLDED are very important! Structure/ Organelle Function Found in Animal Cell Found in Plant Cell Jellylike substances that the organelles float in Contains DNA and controls most of the cell processes Small area within the nucleus where ribosomes are made Helps the cell divide Protein filaments in the cytoplasm that help the cell move and maintain shape. Long whip like structure to help the cell move Stores materials such as food, water, and wastes
Structure/Organelle Function Found in Animal Cell Contains enzymes to digest and get rid of substances in the cell. Found in Plant Cell Synthesize (makes) proteins Short hair like structures that help the cell move The site of photosynthesis (Using sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water) Extracts energy from nutrients (cellular respiration) Membrane system that transports proteins. Some have ribosomes attached and some have do not. Flattened sacks that modify, package, and send proteins from the rough ER out of the cell. A rigid structure that protects and supports the plant cell Separates the inside contents of the cell from the outside, regulates materials entering and leave the cell, and allows for communication between cells 28. Directions: Complete the Venn Diagram Below comparing and contrasting Plant cells and Animal cells by placing the terms in the correct location. Nucleus Cell Wall Cell Membrane Large Vacuole Small vacuoles Ribosomes Mitochondria Rectangular shaped Spherical shape Eukaryotic Cells Cytoplasm Performs Photosynthesis Performs Cellular Respiration Does not Perform Photosynthesis PLANT CELL ANIMAL CELL
