Cell structure and cell size: grass skirts
16 quick questions on AP Biology topics 2.1 Cell Structure and Function and 2.2 Cell Size, each answered in a word or two. Print a sheet for each team, a key for the checker and a tick sheet, then tape the sheets to the board and race.
How it runs
- SnipA runner cuts one strip off the bottom of their team’s sheet.
- Answer as a pairBack at the table, they write the answer on the strip. No books.
- Get it checkedThe checker reads it against the key: you, or a student holding it.
- Back for the nextA tick earns the next strip. Wrong? Back to the table to try again.
The questions on this sheet
The checker’s key, with every answer, prints with the sheets.- rRNA and protein, found in all life
- Ribosome-studded membrane network
- Makes lipids and detoxifies, no ribosomes
- Stacked sacs that tag and package proteins
- Sac of hydrolytic enzymes in animal cells
- Plant cell's large sac of water
- Double-membraned organelle of respiration
- Organelle where photosynthesis occurs
- Holds most of a eukaryote's DNA
- Rigid cellulose layer outside the membrane
- Small membrane bubble that moves cargo
- DNA region of a prokaryote, no membrane
- Folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane
- Falls as a cell grows, limiting its size
- Fingerlike projections on gut lining cells
- Soil-facing outgrowth that boosts uptake
