1. Who first discovered the cell? Robert Hooke
2. What are the 3 parts of the cell theory? All living things are made of cells,
cells are the smallest unit of life and cells come fro pre-existing cells.
3. What are the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? Prokaryotic
cells are small, simple and contain no nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are large,
complex and contain a nucleus
4. What is the functions of each of the following cell organelles:
a. Nucleus- controls the cell activities, stores DNA and instructions for
making proteins.
b. Mitochondria- Provides the cell with energy
c. Chloroplasts- Site for photosynthesis
d. Lysosomes- Sac filled with enzymes that help digest worn out cells.
e. Vacuoles- Sacs that hold water and other cell materials
f. Ribosomes- Site for protein synthesis
g. Endoplasmic reticulum- rough ER is the site for protein synthesis and
the smooth ER is the site for lipid synthesis
h. Golgi apparatus- modifies, sorts and packages proteins and other
