Cell Organelles and Structures Review

Join Pinky and Petunia of the Amoeba Sisters in a review game video! This video provides clues for the viewer to guess the cell organelle or structure before revealing it. As a bonus, towards the end of the video, you'll have the opportunity to label the organelles and structures discussed within both animal and plant cells.

The Amoeba Sisters videos where these came from are listed below:

FACTUAL REFERENCES

Regarding cytoplasm and cytosol:
**When cytosol isn't included in a definition:**
Cytoplasm defined by the National Human Genome Research Institute as "gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of cells" - cytosol is not mentioned here:

**When cytoplasm and cytoplasm ARE differentiated:**
From OpenStax:

***And what we've observed about diagrams****
Many cell diagrams used by students will only label cytoplasm [not going into cytosol] as shown with the linked sources below this paragraph. Since organelles are often given different colors, it doesn't differentiate that cytoplasm would also include the organelles while cytosol would not. And while we do want to emphasize: the diagrams are NOT incorrect- instead, it's just that by not including cytosol, it doesn't differentiate between the two. We may decide to differentiate them more going forward as we just never mention the liquid portion, cytosol. We only talk about cytoplasm as a collective unit.

FURTHER READING:
(1) Plant Cells and lysosomes?

And we think it is important to know that plant cells can do these functions whether one calls it a lysosome or a vacuole. We also find it interesting to mention: the Wikipedia page for "lysosome" has a portion dedicated to this debate and lists some sources for both.

(2) We mention at the end that there are some medical conditions caused by organelles that do not function properly. These are some examples:

Endoplasmic Reticulum Dysfunction:

Mitochondrial Disorders:

Ribosomopathies:

I literally am not even in any classes yet and I still love watching these videos 💀💀

[Bionium]

My teacher once taught on the cell organelles, prokaryotes and eukaryotes. I kinda understood but later forgot, but thanks to your videos, I've further understood biology and the cell structure in general. Thanks a lot, Amoeba Sisters, for making biology easier to understand ❤

[KamranUllah-uwht]

Hi mam I'm your sincere student who love your exquisite way of teaching and I'm preparing for my upcoming MBBS test..please upload videos as much you can I will be so thankful to you for this act of kindness ❤...Your sincere student from Pakistan 🇵🇰

[andisleepsalot]

Now that I have biology as my subject and I have an exam regarding this on Tuesday, I'm so glad I found and watched this video. It made things more clear to me!! I'm gonna come back here after my exam for results

[Bionium]

I thought I'm the only one who loved the structure, function and adaptations of the chloroplasts 😎

[hayafuadmohammadabukhader]

I dont usually comment but I rlly like your videos and find them really cute and entertaining to watch, its always really awesome to find people who can teach passionately! 💕💕💕

[yy-usgy]

I was first shown your videos when I was 13 in science class and that was when I realised I love biology. I'm now studying biology at university and these videos are still getting me through it, your videos not only got me into science but also helped me graduate highschool, get into university, and are now helping me with my degree, thank you :)

[lilyismula]

Thank you for this! I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and it really helps me with my studies as a Nursing student. Keep it up Guys❤

[Frost-ovgs]

Petunia talking in the video makes it so much more funny, love the new vid, came just in time, was reviwing this old chapter again.

[Writtenbyash]

I WAS TRYING SO HARD TO FIND A GOOD REVISION VIDEO AFTER YOUR OLD ONE AND THIS DROPPED. I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THIS I LOVE BIOLOGY

[IvI-ml]

I was looking through your other videos and saw this and I have a biology final tomorrow and this was very entertaining to watch.

[EggmanConeboyFBI]

I like your video it looks so cute of Pinky and Petunia 🥰

[TeoThePro-qetf]

love the video but i screamed when petunia rated mitochondrion 2/10

[cellstories]

I’m a post graduate microbiology student still I love to watch your videos. Simple yet explanatory to students. I also make animated videos inspired by the amoeba sister’s content.

[sundlcnea]

Thank you so much, you truly saved me!!!

[noor-uyrc]

not me watching all amoeba sisters videos to prepare for my ACT biology subject test

[miaaaxxc]

i love your videos smm ur channel is saving me in biology

[krittika]

Omggg u guys were my fav during high school.
And now I'm in a paramedical course for sports science
U both still help me to this day in college
Thanks a bunch
Love u both ❤

[anogaft]

Not me watching this at 2am for a review before I go back to school, and just for fun to see how much I've retained stuff

[damarismelendez]

Hi Amoeba Sisters, thank you for your informative videos, can you guys make a video of muscular system is that i am struggling a lot with this topic.
