Characteristics of Life
All living things are made of this basic unit of life
What is a cell
This is a type of cell that has a cell wall and chloroplasts, which help convert light from the sun into energy
What is a plant cell?
This is the internal fluid of a cell that contains everything floating around in the cell, like the organelles
What is the cytoplasm
These short, microscopic hair-like structures help paramecia move about their environment
What is cilia
The number of brothers that Teacher Dom has
What is two brothers
All living things have some form of genetic material known as
What is DNA
This type of cell has a cell wall and cell membrane, but no chloroplasts. This cell makes up an organism that decomposes dead organic material
What is a fungal cell
This organelle is a softer outer layer that allows things into and out of the cell, like nutrients, waste, and even viruses
What is the cell membrane
What is agar, or agar plates?
Teacher Dom's birthday
What is September 29
All living things need to do this in order to conduct respiration, which in some organisms, is referred to as breathing
What is gas exchange?
This is a cell that does not have a central vacuole for storing water, or chloroplasts for converting light into energy. However, it does have vacuoles that are specialized for cell digestion
This rigid outer layer of the cell helps the cell keep it's structure, giving it a rectangular shape. This organelle is not present in animal cells
What is a cell wall
This is the process that paramecia and most other protists use to make genetic copies of themselves
What is asexual reproduction
The country Teacher Dom was born in
What is Brazil
The process of living creates by-products that are of no use to the organism. In fact, many by-products are dangerous to the organism if they pile up. For this reason, all living things must be able to...
What is eliminate waste
What is a bacterial cell
This organelle holds the genetic information of the cell, often looking like a blue sphere. Often known as the "brain" of the cell, because without it, the cell would not be able to reproduce and create more copies of itself
What is the nucleus
This is the collection of microorganisms that live in and on the human body
What is the microbiome
The first thing Teacher Dom learned how to cook at eight years old
What is pancakes
Paramecia avoid cold or hot areas or harmful chemicals by swimming away from the danger. This is an example of what characteristic of life?
What is responding to the environment
This type of cell was only recently discovered to be in its own separate domain in the 1970s. It is known for having a cell wall and cell membrane that are built different
What is archaean cell
This organelle gives the cells a green pigment and it helps light from the sun into energy for the organism
What is a chloroplast?
yeast
The name of Teacher Dom's little brother
Thomas or Tom Sullivan
