Answers
1. Cells are the site of chemical reactions that define life.
2. All living things are made of cells; Cells are the most basic unit of life; All cells come from pre-existing
cells
3. Cell wall
4. Cell membrane
5. Nucleus
6. Ribosomes
7. Golgi apparatus
8. Endoplasmic reticulum
9. Vacuole
10. Mitochondria
11. Chloroplast
12. Lysosome
13. Vesicle
14. Cytoskeleton
15. Centrioles
16. Cytoplasm
17. Prokaryotes have no nucleus, and are bacteria. Eukaryotes have a nucleus and are plants and
animals.
18. Plants have a cell wall and chloroplasts. Animals have centrioles and lysosomes. Plant cells are large,
animal cells are small
19. Small cells have high surface area to volume ratios and are more efficient at moving nutrients and
wastes in and out of the cell. Therefore, they can perform more chemical reactions.
20. ATP (energy)
21. Glucose
22. Glucose
23. Carbon dioxide, water
24. Amino acids
25. Proteins
