Body Systems
Name the 2 parts of the Circulatory System
Heart, Blood Vessels
Give an example of a molecule that is typically involved in the digestion process
Ex. Starch, Protein, Amino Acid, Glucose, Fiber
Multicellular organisms use mitosis for tissue repair, replacing damaged cells, and.....
What is Growth?
Cellular respiration takes place inside this organelle, known as the "powerhouse of the cell."
What is the Mitochondrion (or Mitochondria)?
What are the two types of the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
What is the Smooth and Rough?
This body system breaks down large food molecules into smaller nutrient molecules that can fit inside cells.
What is the Digestive System?
Digestion breaks down complex starch molecules into this small, simple sugar molecule used for cellular energy.
What is Glucose?
This 4-letter acronym represents the correct order of the four consecutive stages of mitosis.
What is PMAT (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase)?
A cell spends roughly 90% of its total life cycle in this non-dividing phase, growing and copying its DNA.
What is Interphase?
What are the two inputs that go into the mitochondria to produce energy for the cell?
What are Glucose and Oxygen?
This body system absorbs molecules from the small intestine and transports/delivers them to other parts of the body
What is the Circulatory System?
During digestion, large protein molecules are chemically broken down into these.
What are Amino Acids?
While mitosis splits the nucleus, this specific phase pinches and physically divides the cytoplasm into two separate cells.
What is Cytokinesis?
This organelle houses the cell's genetic material (DNA) and acts as the main control center.
What is the Nucleus?
What are the two outputs that exit the mitochondria after it has produced energy for the cell?
What is water and carbon dioxide?
Name the 4 parts of the Respiratory System IN ORDER
Mouth or Nose, Windpipe/Trachea, Lungs
What organ(s) in the digestive system are directly connected to the circulatory system in the Sim?
What is the Intestines?
If a human body cell containing 46 chromosomes divides by mitosis, EACH new daughter cell will contain this exact number of chromosomes.
What is 46 chromosomes?
During Metaphase chromosomes line up in the middle, but during Anaphase chromatids move in this direction.
What is Away / Apart (to opposite ends of the cell)?
An injury to which organ would slow/stop the production of digestive enzymes?
What is the pancreas?
Name the 5 parts of the Digestive System IN ORDER
Mouth, Throat, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine
During digestion, this molecule is too large to be passed to the circulatory system, and it is not broken down either...it is instead excreted as waste.
What is Fiber?
Before a cell divides, loose chromatin condenses into these tight structures so DNA splits evenly without tangling.
What are Chromosomes?
Plant cells perform photosynthesis to make glucose inside this organelle, which animal cells lack.
What is the Chloroplast?
Long-distance cyclists train in high-altitude mountains because lower atmospheric oxygen stimulates their bodies to produce more of these.
What are Red Blood Cells?
