Cell Structure Scavenger Hunt
Use the cell-structure facts in the questions to solve each clue. Use what you know about cell parts and their jobs. For written answers, explain your thinking in complete sentences.
Find the Cell Parts
Use the clues and your science knowledge to crack the questions.
1.The cell membrane is like a security gate. What does it do for a cell?
2.Which organelle releases usable energy from food during cellular respiration?
- Nucleus
- Mitochondrion
- Ribosome
- Chloroplast
3.In plant cells, the cell wall, chloroplasts, and large central vacuole are structures not found in animal cells. Choose all three structures from this list that are found in plant cells but not animal cells.
- Cell wall
- Chloroplasts
- Large central vacuole
- Nucleus
4.Match each cell structure to its main job.
- Nucleus
- Ribosome
- Chloroplast
- Cell wall
- Builds proteins
- Supports and protects a plant cell
- Captures light energy to help make sugars
- Stores DNA and directs many cell activities
Follow the Evidence
Use the clues to work out what is happening inside each cell.
5.A cell is making large amounts of a protein. Which structure would likely be especially busy, and what does it make?
6.A plant cell's large central vacuole stores water. Predict one way the cell might be affected if it lost much of that water.
7.True or false: Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane.
TrueFalse
8.Complete the cell theory statement: All living things are made of one or more .
9.A tiny organism has a nucleus and mitochondria. Is it prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Explain the clue that supports your answer.
10.Imagine a new organelle that could help cells survive a challenge, such as very dry conditions or pollution. Describe what it would do and one feature of its structure that would help it do that job.
