Study Guide: CellKEY

Directions:Read the question next to each number. Then, use the sheets written in “italics” to help you fill in the answers. Study the information on this guide in order to prepare for your upcoming performance.

_____1. A. Why is the Keebler Factory a good comparison for the cell?

Use your Cell Guided Notesto write a response.

A Keebler factory has parts that work together to make cookies just like a cell has tiny parts that work together to make proteins.

B. Write your very own definition for the term “cell.” HINT: DO NOT take a book

definition. Imagine you are explaining this word to a person who has never heard it. Use

your own words, phrases, and adjectives . Use anything and everything that you learned.)

Use your Cell Guided Notes

A cell is the building block of life that makes up anything living.

A cell is a tiny factory with parts that work together to make proteins.

Cells come in many shapes and sizes; some can be specialized.

Cells can be unicellular or group together to make a multicellular organism.

_____2. What is the job of each cell part? Fill in the table below.

Use your Cell Guided Notes to fill in the table below.

Cell Part / Function (Job) / Comparison in Keebler Factory
Nucleus / Controls the cell and holds the DNA / Ernie Elf (Boss)
Nucleolus / Center of Nucleus, Makes the Ribosomes / Ma Keebler
DNA (Chromatin) / The instructions for making proteins / Cookie Recipes
Ribosomes / The workers that build the proteins / Elves
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) / Carries the proteins to the next location in cell / Cookie Assembly Line
Golgi Body / Packages, tags, and ships proteins / Fast Eddie Shipp/Packaging Dept.
Vesicle / The factory car that carries proteins / Factory Car
Vacuole / Stores food, water, waste and proteins / Storage Warehouse

Cytoplasm / Jelly-like fluid in cell; holds cell parts in place / Factory Floor
Mitochondria / Creates energy for cell by breaking down food
“Mighty Mitochondria”, “Powerhouse” / Generators
Lysosomes / Cleans up the cell with special chemicals; “Lysol” / Clean-up crew
Cell Wall / Gives strength and support to cell / Bark around bakery
Chloroplast / Captures sunlight and makes food (glucose) for plant cell / Leaves on bakery tree

_____3. Can you identify each ANIMAL cell part on a diagram?

Use cell diagrams on your Cell Guided Notes to label the ANIMAL cell below. Write the answers on the lines provided under each diagram. To study, cover up the answers below and quiz yourself.

1. ER / 7. NucleOlus
2. Nucleus / 8. DNA (chromatin)
3. Vacuole / 9. Mitochondria
4. Golgi Body / 10. Cytoplasm
5. Lysosome (chemicals on inside) / 11. Ribosomes
6. cell membrane

_____4.Can you identify each PLANT cell part on a diagram?

Use cell diagrams on your Cell Guided Notes to label the PLANT cell below. Write

the answers on the lines provided under each diagram. To study, cover up the

answers below and quiz yourself.

1. Chloroplasts (should be green) / 7. ER
2. Large Vacuole / 8. NucleOlus
3. Mitochondria / 9. DNA (Chromatin)
4. Cell Wall / 10. Nucleus
5. Cytoplasm
6. Cell Membrane

_____5. What are 3 ways a plant cell is different from an animal cell? Explain.

Use the Venn Diagram on the backside of the WS titled “Path a Protein Takes”

  1. Cell Wall – for structure and support
  2. Chloroplasts –cell part used to collect sunlight to make sugar (food)
  3. Large Vacuole filled with water

_____6. What is the path of a protein through the cell? Fill out the numbered list.

Use your “Path a Protein Takes” WS (top portion) and fill in answers.

  1. The Nucleus is the control center which holds the DNA recipes for making proteins.
  2. These instructions are given to the factory workers called Ribosomes.
  3. These workers build the proteins and put them on an assembly line called the ER.
  4. This assembly line carries them to the Golgi Body or shipping department.
  5. Here, proteins are packaged, tagged, and shipped out in factory cars known as Vesicles.
  6. These cars take the proteins to the Vacuole to be stored.

_____7. Can you identify the parts of a cheek cell and elodea cell?

-Label the cheek cell w/: Nucleus, Cytoplasm, cell membrane

-Label the elodea cell w/: Cell Wall, Cytoplasm, Chloroplast

Use your Cell Observation Lab to label each image

_____8. FLASHBACK! How can a scientist decide thatsomething is alive?

Use your “Looking for Life” Lab and list the 6 characteristics of life.

  • made of CELLs
  • Obtains/uses ENERGY
  • RESPONDS to environment (Eg. Plants bend toward sunlight)
  • REPRODUCES
  • Has GENETIC material to give unique traits (DNA)
  • GROWS and/or develops by increasing number of cells
