ESCAPE ROOM: THE CELL

Escape Room: The Cell!

How much do you know about the cell? Let's find out!

START NOW!

Introduction

Welcome to your Escape Room! We want to know: how much do you know about cells?

Don't forget: we can ask you questions about animal cells, plant cells, prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, etc.! Be careful, some of the questions are difficult. You are great scientists--good luck!

You're doing great! Okay, next question. What is an example of an organism with a prokaryotic cell?

Mission 1

3/3

You've almost completed the first mission! So, what is the correct description of a cell?

Every living thing is made up of cells. There is only one type of cell: eukaryotic. Every living thing is made up of multiple cells.

A cell is the smallest unit of life in plants and animals only. They are the structural and functional units for plants and animals.

A cell is one of the smallest units of life. They are large and cannot reproduce by themselves.

A cell is the smallest unit of life. They are the structural and functional units for all living things.

Now for categorization! Drag (arrastra) the definitions into the correct columns. When you're finished, call a teacher over to check your work!

Eukaryotic Cells

Prokaryotic Cells

1. Has mitochondria

2. Has a nucleus

3. Moves with a flagellum

4. Can have chloroplasts

5. Can have pili

6. Doesn't have a nucleus

You made it to the final question, yay! This is the most important question: what is your favorite subject at school?

Biology, without a doubt

Biology's my favorite

Definitely Biology

Congratulations!

Fantastic! You finished the Escape Room successfully! You're a great scientist!

Play again?

Uh-oh!

That's not the correct answer...

But don't worry! Keep going and try again!
