Sixth Grade Science- Plant and Animal Cells

AB
the smallest living part of an organism is acell
the outside part of a cell that holds it together and allows substances to pass in and out of the cellcell membrane
the function of the cell wallto give the cell shape
chloroplasts are foundonly in plant cells
chloroplasts containchlorophyll
a substance that helps green plants store solar energy to make its own foodchlorophyll
chromosomes carrygenes
carries the code for all of the cell's traitsgenes
the liquid part of the cellcytoplasm
cytoplasm is found inplant and animal cells
helps release energy from foodmitochondria
the function of the nucleuscontrols cell
allows substances to pass in and out of the nucleusnuclear membrane
the function of the vacuolesstore food
the nuclear membrane allows substances to pass in and out of thenucleus
animal cells do not havechloroplasts and cell walls
one of the first scientists to see cellsRobert Hooke
plant cells are normally box-like or rigid becausethey have a cell wall
it is difficult to see the nucleus in many cells in a science classroom becausemicroscopes are not powerful enough
male chromosomes, if viewed under a microscope would look likeXXXY
If viewed under a microscope, a female chromosome would look likeXXXX
animal cells havecell membranes, nucleus, and cytoplasm
plant cells havechloroplasts, cell walls, nucleus, cell membranes, and cytoplasm
a green, oval shaped structure in a plant cellchloroplast
the center part of a cell that control the cellnucleus
the part of a plant cell that is found under the cell membrane and gives the cell its box-like shapecell wall
